are these speakers self powered or do they require an amp?

Alesis says: "2. AC VOLTAGE SELECTOR - This 2-position switch sets the AC input voltage for the speaker. US users should set this switch to "100-120V" whereas UK and most European users will need to set this to "220-240V.

It is a pair of speakers and with a amp they really sound awesome. I bought 2 pair and run them with a 600 watt amp and they are crystal clear. Good luck.

They don't have a built in amplifier.You will need an amp or receiver to power these speakers.They are very good performers for the price.

No they are not, you will need a amp. However for the cost they are a great speaker and the sound quality is great for DJ and parties.

They are not powered speakers if that's what your asking. Pair them with a Lepai 2020 amp ($20) and you could hook it up.

They can be connected directly to your amp. But you will definitely need an amp they need some real power.

The are connected to a wire. There is a external amp that you plug in and the speakers connect to that.

You will need some kind of power amp to drive these. Although small they are just a standard speaker as opposed to a powered speaker. Have a look at the Topping digital amps. I think they are great.

There is NO voltage going to these speakers. They are not powered and they need an amplifier to operate.

You will need an amplifier and an audio box to connect the amp to your PC. These speakers become more expensive than sticker price when amplifier, audio box, and cords are considered. I would NOT purchase these. Spend the extra money now on a pair of good self-powered speakers and an audio box and thats all you'll need. Spend the money on that stuff now or spend MORE money on these speakers as you go.

You don't have to buy an amp. The only way to damage these speakers, would be to overpower them or literally break them. They are great speaker on their own, but the way to get the most out of them is to get an amp. A 250 watt amp is ideal for these speakers.

This is a set of UNPOWERED speakers. You will need an amplifier to power them and the amplifier you choose and what adapters you have will determine what kind of audio source you can hook up to.

No amp needed. They function just like ordinary speakers. Hook your output lead from the radio for the rear speakers, and you're done.

No. You would need a received or amp to power them. You can get a cheap one for about 40$.

These are powered speakers. They have their own amp built in. You can use any sound source with them.

These are pretty efficient speakers. If your deck has speaker outputs then usually they are good enough, you don't need an amp.
