Short answer is no. A sub woofer will add much more pleasure to the ears. A sub woofer makes a night and day difference!

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 ).

You need a receiver. The subwoofer is passive so it does not require an amp. I returned mine however as the sound was poor

Yes. Make sure you set receiver speaker settings to 6 ohm. Most receiver default setting is 8 ohm. Refer to your manual if you are not sure where or how to change setting. Get these speakers. You will love them. Make sure you have a sub to go with it.

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

They require a AV -Receiver or a separate power Amp. I used these for rear surrounds for years and they were the bang for the buck for sure. Good sound too!

I had a similar question. I even emailed Polk to ask them and never heard back. You will need an amplifier because the subwoofer is passive. It has its own crossover built in, but the receiver should only be sending high sounds to your other speakers and low sounds to your sub. I just attached both positive wires from the sub to the single positive wire coming from the amp (and the same for the negative wires). It seems to work great and I have had it in for at least a year.

You can use a sub-woofer in conjunction with this pair of speakers, but not without a receiver. There is no port that would allow you to directly link the two. Further, the speakers are not powered (they're passive) and require a power source (receiver) to function.

you can use any standard high quality speakers they will sound better if they are a matched set. the subwoofer output is unpowered so it needs to be a powered sub.

yes, you will need a receiver or an amp to power the two speakers. the sub has an amp built in.

The sub-woofer is wired separately, as are all the other components. Therefore, you can utilize all of the other speakers in the system to the extend your receiver has connections. The sub-woofer sound, though, when connected, is really rich in that nice bass. Hope this helps!

You only need a sub if you want one, but they sound much better with one. I would highighly recommend a sub.

Not sure about sub-woofer. I drive two outdoor Yahama speakers. Works great.

These will work fine with any receiver. Mine sound great with my Yamaha in a 5.1 system with SACD. Mine are rear speakers with JBL bookshelf for the front and a Yamaha powered sub-woofer. My room is 12 x14.

I dont know what kind of amp others are using but these speakers DO NOT need a sub. They are good down to 30hz.But yes, if you want anything lower than that, than yes, you will need a sub.

Yes.Use them in addition to your subs.You will need a separate amp.They are rated for 50 rms.I wouldn't go pass that.Connect them using your sub out on your receiver.
