All the amp does is makes it sound better as long as you can make the speakers fit your good. I have mine on a stock radio on my f150 and they sound and hit real good.

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.

No, you would need a separate amplifier. Your other option is to return the Control 1 speakers and get the C2PS Control 2P speakers instead.

What kind of truck do you have? I don't see why not. These speakers really surprised me for the price. If I were hooking up 2 I would buy 2 separate amp wiring kits (I used the 8 guage kit) I wouldn't try to bridge the 2 speakers with 1 wiring kit. And just wire it up like any other amp kit. Hot and ground are easy.....speaker wires I would mate with your rear speakers (unless you have a after market head unit with RCA inputs......The blue remote wire, just find a ACC supported wire. Hope this helps.

Yes. This is the best way to do what you want to do. I am using the same item for a signal to my amp for a sub using the Bose system in a 2010 Mazda speed3.

You can power any aftermarket speaker off of your head unit. Amps only provide additional power for the speakers.

No additional amp, just the 16 watt per channel amp in the stock stereo I bought. The sub-woofer output of the stereo would not work with speakers this small, so if that is your intent, you'll want much bigger speakers.

They should be purchased separately. Normally you would be installing these in an aftermarket upgrade and use your new wiring. Most amplifier upgrade kits come with connectors, or you can get them at any hardware/electronics shop or here for just a couple bucks. The reason they don't come is that they would have to match the wire gauge you were using in the system. You would want to get both narrow and wide female spade connectors, or solder the wire to the speakers leads directly. If you are going to connect them to the stock wiring and need adapters, There is a company called Metra that makes wiring harness adapters that work well. I have done both with good results. Also, make sure you use the included capacitors on the + lead or buy "Bass Blockers" to prevent low frequency signal from damaging your speakers. These can't take low base and you will ruin them if you do not have some means of cutting off frequencies below about 100-200 Hz or higher. If you are using an aftermarket amplifier, it would normally have a High Pass filter setting that allows this, and you would then not need the capacitors. Your OEM amplifier, if there is one in your system, may also have this capability, but it is not always easy to find out it if does or not. It is NOT likely that a system that is has radio/CD player without an extra amplifier has this but a little research might be worth it.

You would probably need a amp for those, I have the 990 Premium 32ohm and they sound fine without a amp .

I have used a midle of the road pioneer and yamaha recever to power mine without an ext amp. They work fine that way, aprox 100 wt per chanel. Mine are used as front chanels and work great in 7.1 system. Hope this has helped and need anything else let me know.

Thanks for your question. I'm not a big fan of using conversion transformers with audio amplifiers but it should work. This is a fantastic sounding system. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Harman Kardon dealer.

Yes. You can use the 6th and 7th surround channels to bi-amp the fronts. I haven't done this but I've read that's how you do it. You'll need a couple Y adapters.

I'll preface that I'm no pro-audio expert, but based on how much this powers my 1 sub, I think this will be plenty of power for 2 subs, and still leave you 4 channels for the rest of your speakers. I would recommend shooting a call to your local best buy and just ask the geek squad car audio reps...they helped me even though I didn't buy it from them...they are actually the ones who recommended this amp versus one of they sell.

Yes even better you can hook 2 in parallel and have 1.5ohm load and do some major rockin excellent amp! jve had a lot of amps in my time been doing car audio since 89 testing and installing! For the money you can't beat it!

I suppose you could add them, but the OEM single horn on my Ford Ranger was such a POS that I replaced it with the dual PIAA horns. I even used the original mounting point. My Ranger's electrical connector was some proprietary piece so I took the other end off the orig. horn and put it on the PIAAs. That way it plugged right in and I didn't have to butcher the orig. harness. Your vehicle's connector might not require any changes. Its a nice, dual tone sound that, while not as loud as air horns, is much louder than the original.

Better to get an amplifier installed, something like - http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/Amplifiers/GM+Series/GM-A3602

you should be able to.I put 6/9 on my radio and work good without an amplifier.
