Since going all powered boxes, we've sold most of our amps, racks and rack distros.
What would be ideal for most of our jobs, would be an enclosed box with a 50a CS inlet and 6 or 8x 20a breakers feeding edison duplexes. This should be able to be made small enough to just toss in the a/c cable box. Trying to stay away from rack paks.
Anyone know of anything like this available off the shelf?

Spider boxes: http://ecatalog.hubbell-wiring.com/press/pdfs/Hub9802.pdf
An off-the-shelf option from Lex: 50 Amp Pagoda Jr. to GFCI Duplex ReceptaclesProducts & Solutions | Lex Products
A version from Lex that they could probably modify to be what you need: 30 Amp Bento Box with Tail Input to NEMA ReceptaclesProducts & Solutions | Lex Products

The last option is probably what you want

And on top of it, an audio patch bay for connecting your signal cables? Maybe an 8 port data switch?

Sounds more and more like a rack the more you think about it, huh?

The data switch presumes that it's needed for monitoring or controlling the system. I think I'd put it with the AC distro (it needs power), and then the signal patch panel could simply be a stage box for the FOH returns (or from a digital mixer's i/o rack). It could be a loom, for that matter. The idea is that everything the speakers need - power and signal - distribute from a central point.
