You need an amplified source; either from a regular car radio or an amplifier.

You have to have output from the speaker ourtputs off the radio or audio source you are connecting to these speakers what are you hooking these speakers too I've have many pairs of these and am running 400 watts from my sports car radio too but don't run the 250 or 125 bass controls from equalizer too high if you are running over 400 watts or you will blow the woofer speaker section out of these speakers

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 will need a separate amp. I bought an inexpensive Pioneer that pushes 150 watts per channel and these speakers sound true and rich.

You will need a receiver or amp, speaker wire and wire cutter to connect them. It takes some work but it's not that bad.

Just connect your front and center speaker wires direct from the amp. It has the connectors on the back. Very straight forward.

Yes. .....you will need a power amplifier. ...they are not powered speakers.

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

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

They need to be wired in to an amplifier- no `active power- excellent speakers

Unfortunately, no. These really need an amp to drive them. They just won't sound right without. You need something made for wattages similar to what your head unit can deliver.

any speaker can be hooked to an amp. they all have 2 wire connections. Rule of thumb the larger the magnets the more amps they can handle before damage occurs

You can run them without . That's what I'm doing now but it you what clearer and louder sound you'll need an amp

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

You do, unless you do some cutting and splicing. The wires from the speakers feed directly into an adapter that goes into the back of the amp.

These are passive speakers and require an amplifier with speaker wire from the amp to the speakers.

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

Cut the plug in off and wire it up to one of your speakers... No amp needed

You definitely can hook them up but if you're after quality stereo sound this isn't the amp you want since it has a mono output. You might want to read about hooking speakers up in series and parallel to get the desired impedance.
