Do these speakers NEED to be plugged up to an amp?

Anytime, I actually have 2 sets, 1 in my truck amped and 1 in my wife's truck non- amped. Both sound good, but mine sound better :)

Deck power will do fine, however if you really want them to sing you will want a dedicated amplifier!

that would be best way to get the most out of them but no you do not need an amp i have mine running off the mb quart 1000.4 there getting about 75 watts each set and man they sound great.

Just my 02 since I have them. Mine are hooked up to a low power amp. 45wpc if I remember right. That sound good but do not produce a lot of bass. I'm thinking without an amp they would produce even less bass. Hopefully someone has tried them without an amp. The good point on these is I'm hearing far more detail in the music than I ever heard from 2 way and 3 way all in one speakers. I would recommend them even without an amp for that reason. I have the tweeters mounted on the plastic cover behind the side mirrors. It's easier when you keep the wiring within the doors.

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

No. Just plug them into the sub and thats it. I am very pleased with this product, and recomend it highly.

These are not powered speakers. You need an amplifier. So these are definitely not meant to be hooked up to a computer.

Yes, these speakers will need to plug into the wall outlet. Each speaker have its own amp for the sub.

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.

There non powered regular speakers that need to be powered by a receiver. I have them and they sound great!

No. They require an amp and normal speaker wires. For best results you will also want a subwoofer.

No. My husband used these to replace the speakers in his vehicle No amp needed.

You need to plug them into the wall outlet to power the built in sub-woofers. As others have said, if you don't you are not fully utilizing the full functionality.

These speakers run off a stereo or a reciever. You'll have to wire them to one of those in order for them to work.

Yes but you have to have an external amp or receiver to power the speakers.

Hello John. The speakers have a standard, stereo, micro-plug. Yes they need to be plugged into household current and are equipped with the necessary power converter.

These are not powered speakers, they need to be connected to a receiver or amplifier. If you wanted to use these with a computer you would first need to connect the pc's audio output to an amplifier.
