[QUOTE="anton_lor, post: 1544526, member: 31052"] So I searched around for some head units and the only one I found with a high wattage is the Sony DSX-GS80: [URL='https://www.amazon.com/Sony-DSX-GS80-Receiver-Bluetooth-SiriusXM/dp/B081B5S8R8/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1PIZRZ0MZYC45&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.RjhrIwaNNk6QbIMtHyxmH43xibJqC9iZdXPBfI1ImGDJzJ37u1VnoSMqxGIiLNwvlfpwq8iuN_ALtzEqPIA-pLqWxqoqf4T2owb_ma-jyBd9HR7olChSfe59HdPUpYxEf5xAYtXr1hQI-PU3hM-WibyImqQV159T0Bn1GtB-SwL_fuS0lRH1k4H5xN5w0QxZ60Dj_fOhac1NMr7S6hLd9xLy4LFHbkddljXlNzU7xF0.41CRW_nK5gPkhkOsxRkgVwxCIEo-WezGeqpj-2qhiQI&dib_tag=se&keywords=sony+dsx-gs80&qid=1715938440&sprefix=sony+dsx%2Caps%2C217&sr=8-1']Sony DSX-GS80[/URL] If I read correctly, it has an inbuilt amplifier to reach 100w peak and 45w rms. Would that pair well with the Mach460 or would something like the Kenwood KDC-BT960DAB with 50w peak be sufficient? [URL='https://kenwood.eu/car/receivers/bt-receivers/KDC-BT960DAB/?view=details']Kenwood KDC-BT960DAB[/URL] They both have 5V pre amp outputs. Also in regards to the voltage converter: Do I need this specific one: [URL='https://www.amazon.com/RED-WOLF-Adapter-Harness-Aftermarket/dp/B0B1WLGMYX?tag=sn95forums-20']Red Wolf 12v to 5v converter[/URL] or could I wire in a universal one like this, since I am able to order it normally without import costs: [URL='https://www.amazon.de/Bauer-Electronics-Spannungs-wandler-Spannungs-stabilisator-Spannungs-begrenzer-rot-schwarz-gelb/dp/B09B818N5F/ref=sr_1_2?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&crid=12U581GV5D8X7&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.ETiwKJidd-6nKUGz0bUlfq0AtRB-Vw5CzDNdUirqh-8M5B5yjsA5qJPOGHsjkxajhVGfb8ElE66B9AJ21u9OAiMCae1BoOlkOQlVJJf2rMjMON4WdBV5nt1Ylv5dIceEYpNL-D3wjHZVGALqJ5xi9aKzupEJ6QKrX4Ey1hDnShC-7Rao9PbxwhbI-wDw7j3F4mE82BNE9B1lpyN1tzO0jHTfzAhzBS5b9-O1gd_CCt8.5tWBDlGK5BG0WffsGHZQUAu1GMXtQbEYLpz14L3Rqn4&dib_tag=se&keywords=12+Volt+to+5+Volt+Step+Down&qid=1715938383&sprefix=12+volt+to+5+volt+step+down%2Caps%2C112&sr=8-2']Universal voltage converter[/URL] This one has 4 wires, 2 for ground, 2 for positive for the input and output.
