Are there any solutions to this kind of problem? Or is using 2x3s the
easiest way?
the answer is to use 2X4s. not only will everything be standard
and easy to find, but a shallow box reduces the amount of "fill"
allowed. so, draw your proposed circuit layout and see if you
can do it within code. if you can't, that's that.
