do i need an amp for these speakers? or are amps only for subs?

these are designed to be powered by either a factory or aftermarket head unit, while a dedicated amp will give you cleaner sound, at this price point I wouldn't say it's necessary.

They can handle 300 Watts - 600 Watts Peak Power Total Per Pair / 300 Watts Peak Power Per Speaker & 400 Watts RMS Total Power Per Pair / 200 Watts RMS Per Speaker. I used these to replace my factory speakers, with a Pioneer AVH-X3500BHS, which pushes 50W per channel with a built-in amp. They are pretty great without an amp. I've got them installed in my Wrangler's rollbar.

Yes, if you only have a head unit with no built in amp, it would be a good idea to get an amp for these speakers. They will still work without an amp, but they won't be as loud or have hardly any bass. As for which type or size of an amp to get, I can't help you there.

Its preferable to have Amps for them so you can get the Max sound out of them.

You would only need more speaker wire. You connect the speakers to the sub, and then the sub to the amp.

No you do not need a sub amp. Run the L/R speaker wires from the speaker output from your receiver to the Omni and then connect your speakers to the OMNI. The wires are labeled for proper connection. Hope that helps!

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.

If you are going to power these with an amp and spend money on an enclosure for them, you should research a subwoofer instead of these. Performance from 8-12 inch speakers will be much better. However, if you must use these as subwoofers the speaker boxes can be found by searching on amazon, looking for sealed enclosures would suit these speakers best. Explore the 8 or 10 inch subwoofers for more bass with relatively the same price after all is said and done.

I have these speakers in my car without an amp and an amp wired separately to my subwoofer. Each run perfectly fine. Speakers won't have as powerful bass without the amp, but with 2 subs all the speakers should be handling is the mids and highs anyway.

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.

These are speakers and not subwoofers. You only need them in your car front's doors. You can hook them up to your amp, if you have channels available on your amp. Your sub and your speakers must be connected to separate channel on your amp. Also your amp must have the power to run your sub and your speakers at the same time. Go on google to learn the basic on car audio ( amplifier, speakers, subwoofers ).

You really need an amp, these speakers are very loud since they are for competitions, I would recommend you getting some marine speakers.

Yes you will need a separate amp. No these do not connect directly to a computer.

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

No, these are just speakers and have no amplifier. You would need to have a receiver connected to them.

As the guys answered before, you need an amp to properly power these speakers or you will be disappointed.

You will need an amp unless you are getting a powered subwoofer which comes with a built in amp

These speakers are 4ohm rated. You will need an amp that can handle 4ohm speakers. I use a AudioSource Amp 100 Amplifier. It goes for about $120
