need second Crab Box
I have read over a few post discussing how each building is issued one crab box, but if we need a second one, how do I go about requesting that? Is it even a possibility?

Ask FM. However, they may charge you. They're not cheap.
Depending on what's being done, there's cheaper options for specific needs.

Re: need second Crab Box
Kind of makes me wonder where they came from. I'd take a EJ-8 over a EJ-10 any day, but MSRP is $282.
The main advantage of a crab box is that you're ready for anything. But the only reasons I can think of for a building to need more than one is either wards that can't share or two events routinely going on at the same time. (But perhaps I'm lacking in imagination.) For the latter, there's any number of simpler, smaller, cheaper products that will do the job. I know a few have been posted here, but I'm not finding them at a the moment.

Re: need second Crab Box
The Pyle PDC21 is a $13 direct injection box that isolates and converts a line level signal to a low impedance microphone level signal just like the Emtech EJ8 or EJ10. One noteable difference is the Emtech has a knob to adjust the audio level whereas the Pyle uses a 3 position switch (0db, -db, -40db)

The $60 Rolls DB14 is a 2 input (stereo) version of a direct injection box that isolates and converts line level signals to microphone level. It has a level adjust knob for each input.
