You can hook it up to any stereo system. But, I actually have mine connected to a decent set of Alltec Lansing Computer speakers with sub-woofer in my living room, and it sounds great. Sold here on Amazon: "Altec Lansing MX6021 2.1 Expressionist Ultra Speaker System (Black)" Hooks up directly to the home kit...

You'll need at least enough power to capably drive all of the speakers in your system. I have not used mine since my smart TV have Sirius app that I can listen to.

You would need an amplifier and speakers. Or use headphones, since it has a headphone jack.

You have to connect this to a receiver or amplifier. The speakers are connected to the receiver. You choose the receiver and speakers.

You need a subwoofer amplifier. Connect the cable out of the receiver to the sub amp, then connect the speaker wires from speaker to the sub amp.

This is a 5.1 speaker kit and requires a receiver/amp to push sound through. Any DVD, Bluray, CD Player, etc. would be an add-on which would have to connect to the receiver.

If you play only cd's or mp3's all you need is a receiver, two speakers, speaker cables and an ipod. If you don't use mp3's you don't even need the ipod. If you want a little more punch to your sound you could add a power amp and surround sound, but those are definitely not necessary.

It depends on what environment you are using the speakers in. AV receiver? Man cave? Bar? I can be more specific with more information.

Forgot to mention...of course you'll need to have speakers to plug into the receiver as well...but that goes without saying. RCA cables work fine from the speakers to the receiver, but I like to make my own. :)

You don't need a receiver with this unit! It's self-amplified. Just plug it in to your TV via HDMI.Plug your other components in to the TV as well. At worst, you'll need to run a pair of RCA audio cables from the TV back to the audio input of the Sound Bar.Hope this helps

you will need an amp/receiver, make sure that the model you elect will accommodate a turntable or you will need a phono-preamp as well.

You do need a receiver. I went with a Sony receiver. They are well priced and are good quality. These speakers not being wireless sort of ages this system now. Might want to keep that in mind. There are good all in one (receiver included) surround systems out there now. Do your homework.

Dear Nat,A good quality 2 channel or surround receiver should do just fine.Eric C

Tina, in terribly sorry I am unsure if that answer because I only know car audio. I'd think you would still need a receiver. I'd suggest that's a question to ask your local audio store or music store or Google the answer. Good luck

Yes it needs a receiver. This is a passive sound bar. It does not use HDMI connections since it is connected to a receiver through speaker wire connections. I had a realitvely new receiver and decided to go to a sound bar and subwoffer instead of a 5.1 speaker system in my new house. The sound from this unit is unreal! It fill a large great room (18 x 25 ft) very well after I adjusted the speaker configuration for the room and my equipment.
