The Pyles should be inexpensive enough, and go with the 24V 1-Din deck. Less stuff to go wrong, less power loss, common enough and availble nationally that should they blow, you'll be able to source them just about anywhere. If you aren't running anything else that's 12V, I can't see doing a...

Sure. If you're willing to "go custom" a bit, there are actually a ton of options out there. If you do the math, there is a certain power supply voltage range that will give you a specific power across a specific resistance/impedance (4-Ohms, very common in automotive speakers). If you do...

I prefer not using the 24V to 12V converters for something like audio where a butt-load of power is used - there are plenty of 24V "native" amplifiers available that will do exactly what you want. As bear2112 points out, there are options in the same price ballpark as the converter+12VAmp...

Click the "marine" word in my last post, links to JL audio's marine offerings, be prepared for $1100 on a 5-channel amp. You may want to look at the marine offerings from other vendors too. There are a lot more than what your friend might have thought (U.S. isn't a big 24V market)... [EDIT:]...

You may be looking in the wrong place. 24V is more common in Europe and the heavy truck and marine industries - including charter busses. Take a look at InterVox as an example (not affiliated, not an endorser). Heck, Walmart has a 12/24V head unit for under $50.
