Steve’s got the right idea with the DIY build. I’d also recommend checking out the Fireworks Guide section on the site — there’s a solid writeup on e-match wiring and safety best practices that goes deeper than what we can cover in a forum post. One thing I’d add: make sure whatever switches you use are rated for at least 10A continuous. I’ve seen guys use little toggle switches from an electronics kit and they weld shut mid-show. Other than that, gang box + quick-match + e-match is the way to go for backyard finales.
