are these reliable? some of the reviews say the headphone jack hums while the speaker outs are fine.how old is your amp and is still working reliably?

I wouldn't get this. Look into the smsl or muse amps. I have a lose connection on mine and the right speaker goes out on occasion and the headphone jack does hiss. I regret getting this one but don't have the money to find a new one yet.

Not all headphones hum, but I have had a few that did. Mine is currently 4 months old and working perfectly fine. If you purely want it for headphones then this might not be the correct choice for you. Then again when you are listening to music you won't hear the hum most likely. I use mine mostly for the headphone option and have no problem, but only one of my pair don't hum which are my Philips Fidelio X1's

It works great, but im not a fan. Go with a qinpu amp... Even the q2 will make you smile. I use the topping in the kitchen.

I've had mine over a year and it is never turned off. I've had no issues except for a scratchy pot from it sitting in the same position. Moving it back and forth solves the issue. Amplifier sounds good and runs cool.

My experience is that it's not reliable, I've had mine for 10 months & I'm having connection issues(crackling/static) with the phone jack that started about 3 months ago. The jack is rarely used , about 10 times before the issue started. Also, I just recently starting having issues with the volume control (crackling/static + drop-out in the right channel.) The volume knob is also rarely used as I control volume with my source...

I have had mine for several years now. My active speaker (amped) went out right before the warranty was up and they replaced it with a new pair and they haven't had a hiccup since. I don't use mine everyday but I do love these little speakers, great sound and good looks for my bedroom.

sorry I'm not to tech savvy. I had a friend help and I didn't know much of what was going on. I do have a separate amp, which is an inuke nu1000sp, made by a behringer. I have 3 total, 1 each on three chairs. they do work really good, especially compared to the higher price ones. if I can find more info I will let you know.

Nope it's 30-something ohm so any source can easily power them. I've plugged them into my android phone, my wife's iPad, and my work computer and all powered them easily. Volume levels were good and sound quality was great. I did get a budget dac amp for my work computer and I'd say there seemed to be the slightest performance increase, but it also could have been my ears getting used to the headphones. So no, an amp is not needed.

Fellow aftermarket Pioneer stereo user here, they work fine just plugging straight into it. Havent had to bust out a spare amp yet.

Hello, thank you for your interest. I can't see how it would be a problem. As long as the pick up is functioning correctly, the amp should work well.

you should be fine.. just make sure don't over power them.. you can blow the speakers.. they hit hard.. sound good with my amp..alpine and alpine head unit

Not a problem! These speakers can be easily over driven with a clean signal.I had them on a Sony 4 channel x 50 watt rms head unit with no issues as they are a 70 watt rmv speaker. I then added a kenwood 300 watt per channel rmv amp and again, no problems or even any significant distortion. They blow away any coaxial or triax type speakers I have ever heard. ENJOY!!!!

I have those boxes too. I did the same thing you did and yes they work just wire it correctly. For an amp do NOT get an 1100w amp. These are not even close to being able to handle that. get a good 400w amp.

Check everything:1. Computer volume still correct?2. Amp volume ok?3. EQ not messed with?4. Headphone cable ok?5. Cable to computer ok?6. Tube seated?Check the obvious first... Otherwise, I have no idea, mine sounds great!

You need at least 1200 rms to power the speakers and they are 600 rms apiece so 400 rms each speaker isn't that bad they should sound nice with your amp. I have 4 of these speakers and they sound amazing

Hi There.....I have a Yamaha 200 amp connected to this unit, running 4 seperate set of speakers. Its been in use for a few years with no problems. I don't crank my music very high and listen to easy music. Hope it helps!

Yeah they are I'm still amazed. I'm still wondering why they're only $35. I have them running at 1 ohm 1900 watt hifonics amp. They handle it no problem. I thought they were going to be crap but they're quality subs.

This nice little cheap amp will not break from using different speakers. I'm using two of my in home surround sound speakers because I'm cheap and don't have the money yet to buy new car speakers. I'm sure that the Pyle speakers will work just fine and I'm proud to say that my amp is still alive and working fine off of the 12v from my cigarette lighter. You could also look for the amp with an fm radio and or sub woofer output for about 5-10$ more on amazon or eBay. Good luck. Hope this helped you out man.

These are 4 ohm speakers and they can take a lot of power, 120W continuous, 200W peak output. if your amp isn't rated for 4 ohm speakers you could burn it up trying to drive these. Older amps were typically rated for 8 ohm speakers.

I am sorry, but I'm not familiar with this issue. I just chose this sound card after many reviews and feedbacks I've read. And from what I heard, the original amps is very quality and no need to change nothing. I personally like this card as is.
