does these need amplification to sound good?

I do not have an amplifier in my jeep wrangler and I think they still sound great. It's a matter of choice but I love the way they sound.

They sound ok just being ran to the radio but to get max potential out of them put them on a small aftermarket amplifier. I used the infinity 475 high performance 4 channel

Not really required but a good amplifier will help deliver the most from these speakers. The amp will provide clarity to each channel and define the sound quality, best answer... Use an amp for the best quality sound from these capable speakers.

They dont need high power to get loud due to the high efficiency, however giving them clean power will give u the best sound quality possible. I have my set running off of 90 watts each from an older nakamichi amp and they sound amazing for what they cost. Having a high pass filter will help also.

You can, but the problem lies in that there is no way to amplify and make better speakers sound better if that makes sense. If you get big nice speaker and hook them straight in to this particular machine it will sound just like the speakers that come with it.

These speakers require a separate amplifier. I use them as surrounds in my system and they have served me well.

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

These speakers sound great for their size, price, and purposeHowever, they are not very sensitive. To get much good sounding volume you need to feed some good power.I have the similar amp made by dayton audio to feed my paradigm atoms which are far more sensitive than these. That amp at half volume starts adding distortion to the signal.

Need is a strong word. You can use them without an amp but, to get acceptable levels for music that is meant to be played loudly you would want one.

As long as you're not looking for booming bass, they should be plenty loud enough, imo

It doesn't drive them as much as i want, but it does amplify. Impedance of cans will vary how much amp you hear. Cmoy amp is better imho...

Oh yes, they should give you all the volume you can take. From the start they sound great and then get even better as they break in. Just keep in mind that their impedance is 8 ohms.

Yes it would. You can control the distortion or gain for a cleaner sound if you prefer. These amplugs are a good sound. Not a great sound. But for the convenience it's pretty cool

at first i only had them hooked up to a 200 watt amp and they didn't sound that loud.so i bought a 2000 watt amp and they sound amazing.the best way to get the best sound is to hook a 2000 watt amp up to them.

These are pretty efficient speakers. If your deck has speaker outputs then usually they are good enough, you don't need an amp.

No ,you need an amplifier or a audio receiver to use these speakers cause they are pasive not active.

They are pretty low impedance headphones and will work without amping, but you will lose out on Alot of the sound. You get a much more full bodied sound with an amp.

Yes. There is typically less distortion at higher volume levels with larger amps. However, you will need to be careful not to drive the speakers where you can hear them audibly distort - back off the volume at this point.

You will want to amp these. While the "work" unamped, you will not get your moneys worth out of them.

Actaully no. If you really look at this headphone it is individaully balanced in terms of acosutics... if you mess around with amplification... you gotta do it really well so as not to distort the sound coming out. they jam pretty nicley as they are. when theyre brand new you might not get everything from them all at once. you can blast them overnight at max throttle to loosen up the speaker cones inside the headset...
