An amp will help but no need for one, even an aftermarket stereo will help with the sound. But you won't hurt them without one.

Yeah. Just need to have the right wire leads to your amp. Check with a local car audio place cause I couldn't tell ya. Also need to have power to the amp from the battery.

An amp.is probably required to power the speakers if their watt rating is high. If the wire is RCA to bear end speaker you could give it a try directly to the speakers. If it's RCA to RCA I wouldn't cut the end of the wire for speaker connection.

Yes you do need an amp for it. I suggest pairing it with a pioneer digital amp. I have 2 of these In my TDI golf 2013 and they save so much space but have higher decibel readings then some of the extensive setups my friends have installed so far.

You may be able to hook it up and get it to work but I would recomend a home audio amplifier for a home setup. This is a decent unit for a car but I wouldnt go throught the hassle of trying to wire it into a home system. Home system amps provide way better quality anyway. Decent CAR audio product though

You don't need an amp per say. But you will need speakers/studio monitors or anything you can use as a speaker. I am using an amp as a speaker b/c I already had an amp I wasn't using. There are no external speakers so without a speaker you will only be able to hear the kit through headphones.

You can power any aftermarket speaker off of your head unit. Amps only provide additional power for the speakers.

Ye you need an amp, they are not powered speakers. They are passive speakers as indicated by the "P" in "B2030P" which means you need an amp to power them.

Hi Anne, You do need a amp., I use a little Peavey Solo and it works just fine. Hope this helps, Mike

I think you'll still need an amplifier. Im not familiar with that sound bar but I imagine it will not properly power these speakers.

No you will need a separate amp. I bought an inexpensive Pioneer that pushes 150 watts per channel and these speakers sound true and rich.

I have seen advertised an installation kit for home use. In my car the audio output goes to the line in jack, so if your amp has a stereo line input you should be good to go.

depends on the power required. This barely powers the speakers I have and the sub...but if your speakers are more efficient then you could run them in a series, but why not get a 4 channel amp.

You can run them from the factory head unit if that is what you are asking. Of course $250 of external amps would make them sound better.

i did not add an amp. i have a pioneer fh-x820bs that put out about 17 watts, and it powers 2 pioneer 4ways in the back, 2 pioneer 5ways in the front, and 2 kappa 10.9 tweeter in the dash. it puts out good volume and clarity in the bass, mid, and highs. for me an amp would be for those outside the car to hear. fine enough to blast the wife and kids.

I cannot answer that question. mine are wired directly to a four channel amp. all I can say is without an amp they will not put out as much. they will probably sound like your stock setup. get a separate amp for them. mine has the boss audio 4-channel 400 watt amp. cost me $40

I believe they are the most efficient car speakers made. I run mine without an amp. Why don't you try this first? You can always add an amp later.
