Can these be hooked up to Sony HT-XT1 2.1 Channel Sound Bar with Built-In Subwoofer? or would I still need a amplifier?

I think you'll still need an amplifier. Im not familiar with that sound bar but I imagine it will not properly power these speakers.

Hi AmayaAngel7, to be able to make this speakers work is to connect it with an amplifier and connecting it to the HTXT1 is not possible. - Ella

This set of speakers needs an amplifier to drive them. If your soundbar have terminals to a speaker, then it can be used. consult your manual first.

I use mine with a sub woofer. They are nice speakers but have no low end, so a sub woofer is a must.

Yes. .....you will need a power amplifier. ...they are not powered speakers.

Think of this soundbar as being a replacement for traditional speakers so you'll need an amplifier. If you don't have an amp or your TV doesn't have speaker outputs, you'll want to find a soundbar that has the amp built in and accepts some sort of digital input.

Hello Louise, Buy a sub that has Speaker level inputs and outputs on the back ( many polk, sony, bic etc. do). Simply install right and left speaker wires to the amp as you normally would for regular speakers. Then conect those wires to the r/l speaker INPUT on the back of the sub. Then run seperate wires from the r/l OUTPUT on sub to your speakers. Works and sounds great! Hope this helps. S

Teresa - these speakers are not self-powered in any way, nor do they include any wiring. These are meant to be connected to an amplifier or HI-FI receiver, not to a TV directly. However, if you plug your TV into a receiver, then you might be able to use these.

Yes you can. Though you will be needing an amp to make this Sony XSGTX121LS to work. -Ely

No, these are just speakers and have no amplifier. You would need to have a receiver connected to them.

You wouldn't be able to connect to a TV with these. These are 1/4" connections. Most TV's are RCA, Component or HDMI. You need to determine what connection type you have on both the speakers and the TV. Also, unless the speakers are active (powered with a built in amp), you'll need an amplifier.

These are speakers and not subwoofers. You only need them in your car front's doors. You can hook them up to your amp, if you have channels available on your amp. Your sub and your speakers must be connected to separate channel on your amp. Also your amp must have the power to run your sub and your speakers at the same time. Go on google to learn the basic on car audio ( amplifier, speakers, subwoofers ).

As these are just a pair of speakers you would need at least a stereo amp, speaker wire, and RCA cables for input into the receiver. I paired these speakers with a Sony STR-DH130 2 Channel Stereo Receiver and find that it drives them quite well. I primarily use them for listening to music but they do well for watching tv, though some equalizing may be necessary.

Susan, I originally bought a pair with the sub woofer. I then wanted to do a 5.1 home theather and added another pair without the sub woofer. I am using an Onkyo TX-NR414. Works great!

Of course they will work, but how well they sound is subjective. I am pretty impressed with these on a factory head unit. An aftermarket unit will provide better sound quality and higher wattage, therefore, in my opinion, they would work even better. An amplifier would certainly take these speakers to yet another level.

I agree with Damon--you can't just plug these into your tv, you will need a separate receiver. If you are simply looking to increase the volume, search Amazon for a "sound bar" which you can hook up directly to your tv. My grandfather is hard of hearing, and the sound bar works well for him.

No. These are design for stereo, analog stereo that is. You need to buy a system like a 3.1 that has a sub to intergrate your own existing sub. The catch is the .1, compared to these 2 channel speakers which is just left and right.

Amazon asked me to respond. I have the AV40's. Use them with my TV and a subwoofer.....absolutely no complaints!

Diane, these will be great for tv. You will hear sounds you never heard from the tv speakers. You may also want to consider a good quality sound bar with sub woofer. I have one and it is fantastic.
