Do I need an amplifier for this or is it good to go out of the box?

Good to go out of box. Active speakers have amps built in. Passive need an amp.

you don't need an amplifier, and can play right out of the box, but the quality is not a good sound.

You do not need an amplifier it's powered very loud you won't be disappointed

I am running all my sound through a sound board first. You should have the correct inputs and outputs to use this. I will say that it is quite a good piece of equipment for the price. I am also using pyle-pro monitors which were also excellent value.

No need to use a external amp. The built in amp is more than enough. I already blew windows out of my houseboat with it

Yes, you will need an amp. a 50 watt rms worked out well for me. It sounds great.

unfortunately you need an amplifier, unless you buy the Behringer 8500 which can come wireless.

You'll still need a proper amp. The output from this device isn't enough to power speakers alone.

get the pyle 3000W hybrid and that should work perfectly unless you feel like buying real expensive amplifiers.

Thanks for your question. THis amazing sounding player requires an amplifier.

Yeah, as long as you watch your power output. needing more power and having to add an amplifier is where it may get tricky.

Yes, it'll work fine. If you want the best sound out of them you'll need an amp.

not required. I can play directly to the amp or use a preamp if I need more volume. It won't be as loud without a preamp but it works fine if all you need is a little boost.

Hello. No, you will need an external amplifier to properly power a subwoofer.

No amp necessary. They are loud and crisp. I have an Alpine 10" type r connected to an alpine 500 watt amp and it all sounds perfectly balanced.

I'm using the amp for my flat screen tv, which only has a digital audio out. The tv's speakers aren't very good. I run the digital audio out to a digital to analog converter. Then it's a simple matter of hooking up some speakers. BTW, the amp is well worth the money if you can use its configuration.

It needs an actual amplifier, but also using this Preamp with Bose 901s is kind of like having generic Cheerios everyday while there is a freezer full of Filets. You are better off getting a used name brand receiver (preamp and power amp) unless you have a power amp already in which case you will seriously want a better preamp.

Yes you will still need an amp. I have 100 watts on mine and it sounds great, very punchy.

You need an amp that has a phono pre-amp (phono puts out less output than digital so it needs to be boosted before it's amplified. And, of course, you'll need speakers.
