after market 12v power socket

Okay so I am looking to add a third 12v power socket. Where or what would be good brand place to buy something like this. It will be inside my truck so water proof is not a necessity. I need it for a HD Radio so it will be a dedicated use. I still need the other two for phone chargers and such. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

In my 96, I use a 4 way splitter for the 12VDC (looks like this)

It fits perfectly in a compartment next to the 12V outlet. I used the same setup in my gen I's (both the 89 & 90). I use it to power 2 USB power plugs for my ipad & my phone, my CB radio, & occasionally my TomTom GPS. I also have a 2nd one I bought (made by Lenmar)

It goes in back if I still need additional outlets.

I don't recall the setup of the sport but I would imagine there would be a good spot to put either unit.

Here is my placement. The best spot to put the 4 plug adapter would be where the ash tray is, then I have a second factory power behind the cup holders on the up slope of the center console.

I don't want to cut the wires since it is set up, and if something should happen to my Sport I would like to transfer it to that vehicle.

Go to Crutchfield's website and get the wiring adapter kit(s) they have that are matched to most vehicles. They cost about $15. One end will connect right to your OEM harness. The other will plug into the first, and will have to be hard wired to your radio. Sell the truck and put the factory radio back in 20 minutes.

Oh I am not replacing the Stereo itself in the picture the little black box below the shifter is an aftermarket HD Radio Tuner that you use and attach to the existing stereo. I have all the wiring kit for it. I just don't want to use one of my two power plug ins.
