I'm considering getting Pinwoofer for my new GOTG Pro, I'm already planning on replacing the stock 350W PSU with a 500W but I'm confused about how Pinwoofer is powered. It looks like it's powered off the main 48v PSU and not it's own power supply. What are the power requirements? I'm adding a lot of mods to mine which is why I'm swapping the 350W for 500W as to now need to add an additional power supply for mods but if the Pinwoofer is using 200W backbox and 800W subwoofer, what current does the amp pull from the pin's system?

Obviously it works, I'm just not understanding the situation. I'm adding several dozen watts of LEDs and mods and figure the stock 350W might be a bit slim. The Prem/LE has 500W so I figure that's enough for my mods. But surely the Pinwoofer amp is capable of some significant power draw? How does that work out?

My plan is to just swap the 350W for the Meanwell 500W version of the same PSU, the same specs as what the stock Prem/LE use. Basicially putting a Prem/LE PSU in the Pro for 150W more headroom. I figure expecting the PSU to power an additional 100W of LED mods may not be a great idea. But lets forget that for now and let's say I'm not adding any other mods at all or changing the power supply, and adding Pinwoofer to a totally stock GOTG Pro...

The stock PSU is 350W. The Pinwoofer amp is 50x50x100W, so 200W total audio power. That's more than half the power rating of the 350W power supply. I can't imagine the rest of the entire pin draws less than 150W, so why doesn't this blow any fuse or brown out the PSU if the volume is cranked up? I know it all obviously works and people love your product but I'm just looking to understand WHY it doesn't exceed the watts available, blow any fuses or cause any problems! This is really just for my own education to understand why adding such a high-power mod doesn't exceed the stock power limits. Most modding shops recommend and offer supplemental AC adapters or buck converters to power mods without exceeding stock power so I'm not understanding how the stock PSU has up to 200W to spare for powering a Pinwoofer amp.

Again, I'm not questioning that it works, and people are happily using Pinwoofer in their stock Stern pins, I just want to understand how, and why it's not an issue!

Dan, thanks so much for the great phone conversation and taking the time to answer all my questions with details of how the Pinwoofer system is powered and integrated with the Spike2 audio system! I appreciate the education and now I understand how it works and I have a high appreciation of the design and attention to detail. I definitely expect to be ordering a system from you soon!
