See title. I’m thinking of picking this up to power a pair of speakers but am currently powering my Pi using the GPIO pins. If I install this, will I no longer be able to power the Pi that way? Will I have to use the MicroUSB?

If you can get it without the header pre soldered you can use a passthrough header like this one: https://www.adafruit.com/product/1979
Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately I don’t have a choice. It comes pre-soldered according to the description. There does seem to be other power and ground pins on the board according to the schematic. I’ll try using those
