this isnt a growing question but does anyone know a cheap way to build a box that can hold about 50 amps. I got a cycle coming up and i know im gonna need the juice n i know ill blow the breaker away in 2 min not even if i just plug my shit in. i need something that can hold 4 600 and 2 1000 or im gonna have to do a lot of drilling lol

First, you need to have 50 amps available. If so, just put together a sub-breaker box and some separate breakers for separate lines. E.g. 50 Amp feed into box with two twenty amp breakers and one ten amp for two 20 Amp lines and one 10 Amp one (20+20+10=50). Run PROPER sized wired from that box to PROPER sized outlets. For safety, all outlets in their own boxes with covers, and everything grounded. If everything in that box goes over the feed amps (the feed better have a 50amp breaker), it will pop. If you don't include a feed breaker, possible fire.
