will these be OK to use with my garage band to be used hooked to a voice mixer amp?

These are passive PA speakers so they require a power amp and mixer or a powered mixer to use them effectively. As for using with a band, it depends on what you are running through the system. If it is just a mic and an acoustic guitar then I would say these are fine for those needs. If we are talking about 2 or 3 mics, , keys, bass, guitar, or a full band setup like this, then these would probably not be sufficient and you would be better using something with a 12 or 15" woofer etc. I hope that helps!

Yes as long as they are self powered and are connected with 1/8" stereo jack then you are good to go. There is no on board speaker amp so plain speakers will not work!

yes they can be used with out an amp, I am using them with out an amp and love them.

No, they will work without an amp.Yes, for them to work at peak performance.Really depends on your standards of sound quality.Mine sound fine without an amp.

I'm an electronic tech by trade. You normally would not tie together outputs but in this case I think for your application, it will work ok. If the mics were powered mics then there would be a concern but since they are passive devices, the output signals will simply be mixed together then fed to your computer mic input.

They wouldn't be my first choice as they are a little on the small side for front mains. They will work okay, just don't expect huge sound from them. If you have a sub, these should work fine, but if not, I would look for something bigger.

I think it'll depend on your input to them. These speakers already have a built in amp with volume and tone controls so I don't think they'd work if you're sending them an amplified signal from a main board.

I used them with this tube amp (http://www.amazon.com/GemTune-Class--Tube-Amplifier-EL34-B/dp/B00DRUY6EG/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1449284595&s;r=1-2-spons&keywords;=tube+amplifier&psc;=1) that only has 10 watts per channel, granted, a bit more power than you are asking about. It filled a medium sized room well. Say 15x20 feet. But as others said, it won't rattle he windows. You could also give this inexpensive amp a try (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F0H8TOC?psc=1), the sound is surprisingly good.

You should be okay with that. Just be sure not to overpower it or you will blow the sub. I've used underpowered amps on mine and they sound amazing!

No. They really aren't 1000 watts. But they do sound good. I think if you get a good clean amp you should be ok.

You done need any tweeters they will sound great yes a nice amp to push them will be good Iam pushing 110 ohms rms but make sure the amp can work at 2 ohms

Yes, the head unit will push them and they will sound decent, but you won't be able harness their full potential without an amp.

I don't think so. The tweeters are for amplified systems and it doesn't work with amps

Hi Joe, to be honest with you I returned this. It didn't work for me either. I tried to plug them into a amp and nothing. Definitely cheap and not worth the money if you ask me.

Thank you for asking. The powered outputs on this are stable down to 4 ohms. As long as the impedance on your speakers is high enough the amp will be ok. If the speakers are rated to the right power they will be safe as well. Have a great day!

No they're passive speakers. You will need 'powered' mixer that also acts as amplifier.

I think they should be. I used them in a band and with a mix board you should be able to pick up speaking voices around a table just fine.
