can these speakers by amplified by a rockford R250x4 prime 4 channel amplifier

I'm not sure of the specs of that amp but I can tell you the low end absolutely sucks at 20 RMS. Loose, muddy and by my ears sound like cheap paper blowing in the wind. However, I still used them after placing a crossover in line for highs only. Clean tweeter With little ear fatuge. If I may recommend two alternatives...Infinity kappa are a well rounded speaker design and my first choice for balanced sound reproduction. If you like a little more tight bass Pyle has some great two ways. I hope that helps, but your ears are your best guide.

Yes you can put a amp to them probly shorten there life mine sound great my car has built in speaker in closures stock radio

Not unless you wire the speakers directly to it. it's a 3.5mm to 2 speaker amplifier

No, the speaker is not amplified. They are designed for use in a home entertaiment surround sound system.

Yes you can. Just make sure you consider cable length and position of the speakers.

You should be able to if you have the power to push themI us them for my Dj set up and it brings out the Hi endbut I have them on there own power amp.

YES. They worked great when I used a Pyle PCA1 amplifier ($28.26) that I purchased the same time as the speakers.

Hey, not unless you have a power amp and mixer. These are non-powered and have no built-in amplifier at all.

It may...by connecting them paralleled to the amp, and installing a passive filter on the output to the 12" sub. The problem with that wiring scenario and 4 ohm speakers is that you will force the amp to run at a lower ohm load than it is supposed to accept. I would not recommend this because even if it worked, it would overheat. Throw a separate bridged mono amp with a capacitor on the sub instead...hope that helps and good luck with it.

These speakers need an amplifier. I use them with the Audiosource Amp100 (amzn.com/B00026BQJ6), but you could probably use a smaller one like the Lepai Tripath LP-2020A+ (amzn.com/B00C2P61FO)

I concur with the others on this question. You do need an amplifier for these speakers.

Yes , but be careful. A good rule of thumb to measure the true rms of any audio component is to add a zero to the end of the fuses and add them together. So in your case 4× 25 amps is like 4×250. So you have a 1000 watt amp...just don't turn your gain all the way up, which you should never do anyway because it's the distortion from these amps that blow subs. Not the wattage.

These are passive not active which means you will need some type of amplifier. Somthing like this will do: http://www.amazon.com/Pyle-2x75W-Stereo-Power-Amplifier/dp/B001P2R1RW/ref=pd_sim_e_3 However, you best bet is to get some type of active speaker system like this: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-S220-Speaker-System-Subwoofer/dp/B000RQSGYO/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1294928014&sr=1-3 Michael

It will depend on the how the gain on your amp is set. IMO, 500 watt RMS power for these speakers is way overkill.
963398
yes..only if you bridge them for more power .....output to speakers 4000 watts...

I don't see why not depends what size your Polk is just buy the same size and install. I will say this those. I have 2 of be p1 in the enclosure Rockford fosgate box you can get off the website and they rock. Ones gonna be much louder then the Polk sub you had for your home theater it looks like. Just googled the Polk sub idk what you really had.

They should work fine. I am driving a pair with a small amplifier (2x40 watts) and the volume is more than sufficient, albeit not rock concert levels.

You should do some more research as answers vary. Are you running 2channel? Bridged? Read the instructions, I don't recall the output in each mode, but it depends on the resistance of the speakers. Seems to me 250w rms speakers will do fine with that amp...
