[QUOTE="zako, post: 7835547, member: 629735"] There is no such thing as a "high power" head unit. Most put out about 15-22 watts RMS, which is hardly "high power". Check the manuals to be sure. I don't think that tinkering with the Alpine power pack is worth your money or time. The thing costs over $100 and puts out just 4x45watts RMS. The thing is not bridgeable and works only with Alpine stereos. I also wonder how they can get 4x45watt RMS power when most cars run very thin power wire to the head unit. Instead, take a look at a budget 4 channel amplifier, such as PPI Sedona or Black ICE. Here is an interesting find for $120 [URL="http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_43606_Power-Acoustik-RZ4-2000D.html"]Power Acoustik RZ4-2000D (rz42000d) Monoblock RAZOR Class D Car Amp[/URL] This thing is likely overraged, but should beat the power pack.
