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?

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
That 3x3 grid to the left is marked 5v/3v/GND. Can you not use those?
Yep, I saw that eventually and on the schematic there are traces connecting them to the correct gpio pins on the pi
