Probably. Two things jump out at me, 2 volts and rear out. 2 volts is kinda weak for an output, making you turn up the gains much higher than, say, my 5v KENWOOD. The other thing is “rear” out. Do you have the sound faded to the front? If so, you’re likely killing the output on your RCAs.

I sold my firstborn long ago. She must be an adult by now…:unsure::LOL:

So your plan of an SSD HDD with FLAC files is alive and well, right?

I have a KENWOOD DMX906S. Specified in the manual is that a USB drive be formatted FAT32. I have a wired/wireless option, that’s why I installed the USB port in my dash, one for Apple, one for USB/Android. Works wonders, I’ve had no complaints.

Okay, you can use an SSD, but ONLY if it is formatted FAT32. Google fat32 formatter and look for “fat32 gui formatter”.

SSD, maybe. I know a standard USB HDD doesn’t work, there’s not enough power to spin the disks. If I can find my SSD, I can check for you.

Ha-ha! Sorry, didn’t mean to make this a more expensive project. :D:LOL: Hi-res Isn’t possible over wireless. It still uses Bluetooth for audio and that’s still lossy. To get hi-res you need to connect with a cable. I use Apple Music in my truck, and in the cigarette lighter location, I...

Wow! Can I “borrow” your wife when I need more upgrades?!? She’s awesome! Love it. Anyways, just throwing this out there, but the guys at “5star Car Stereo” on YouTube did an install a couple/three years ago on a similar Boxster. I mention this because it could give you some good ideas for...

I feel the need to clarify. Yes, I can stream Apple Music through USB. I need to use CarPlay for that to work. I don’t have an Android, but I assume Android Auto would work the same. Once connected, you control streaming through the headunit. I just spent 20 min. trying straight through USB...

Maybe it’s different with Tidal, MQA and all, but with my KENWOOD Dmx906s, I can stream Apple Music all day, no downloads.

Do you have…. 1) A headunit with a USB input 2) A USB-A to USB-C cable 3) A sub to Tidal? If yes, you’re golden. For #2, think charging cable.

Apologies. Still here to learn.

You are correct. But remember, this only maintains AGM batteries, it’s not a magic bullet. If you have voltage drop, it may mean you have to do the big3 upgrade. Cheaper than an alt for sure.

What’s the goal here OP? If you want 14+V out of your alt, look here. I have the MK4 version on my V6 ‘06 Tacoma. You place this in the “ALT-S” circuit in the under hood fuse box, and adjust it as needed. I have mine set to add .4V on my MechMan Alt. I run at 14.6V cold and 14.3V hot. I...

Aaaaaaaaaaad……..SOLD!!
