how do they sound with a small to medium amp on full range sound? (no use of the amps LPC, HPC or added sub) - can i get by w/o a sub?

They're very bright a sub is recommended if you want that low end. Look into a similar priced Rockford or image dynamics if you have some extra cash.

I think that even with an amp, you would lack dimension with only these speakers or you would pollute the sound by having to overcolor the bass output. I love rock, but don't like the boom of so many systems. But the small sub I have allows the Infinity's to play more naturally, fully. It sounds teriffic with a small amp.

I run them off my head unit, use the included crossover so do not use your amp or head unit cut off, I run this with infinity natchingg 6x9 in back and old 10"jl sub, if I turn off the sub it sounds great! And again this running off a Kenwood head unit just mid range not even high end unit.

I would recommend a small amp for the clarity. They sound real nice, no sub needed unless you want a little thump.

They sound ok just being ran to the radio but to get max potential out of them put them on a small aftermarket amplifier. I used the infinity 475 high performance 4 channel

Hey Phillip -- I am no expert and do not own these speakers but the its a pretty good relaibel rule to ever add speakers. You will mess up the impedance math and degrade sound and could evenutally blow your amp.

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.

Well I use this amp for my highs and they sound proper... My one 13.5 in JL runs on a JL amp... I would suggest one of those for your subs...

Not to hear sound, but getting speakers like this is definitely best with an amplifer. I recommend 50-60Wrms to each side (with HPF around 90 hz) for optimal preformance.

I run them on a 50x4 Memphis m class amp. As long as you're running a quality amplifier they'll run and sound amazing. Almost a year and a half old and still going strong and sounding good as the day I installed them!

I'm not sure but they sound terrific in my Buick Lacrosse. .really classy. How can you add a warranty when people often hook them up incorrectly or push them beyond their limitations? I have a 10 inch sub enclosure and a 1500 watt amp but I had to turn it down lower than most as not to go deaf.;-)

They will sound pretty decent, I never had a problem with distortion or static with mine and I don't have an amp on them. They put out pretty good bass for the price. I have had them for almost 2 years now with no issues.

I'm not sure exactly how they would sound when powered with a 4 channel amp. My deck supposedly powers 80×4 channel. It sounds great and I can say the bass doesn't bog or sound overly boomy. It just gives out a nice clear sound.

Boss is very great! I have one so do my brothers and none of us have ever had any problems with them. And they can handle a good amount of watts. I have two 2100 max subs and they sound great. And boss is pretty cheap.

I do run these with no external amp in a convertibke. My head unit has 45w per channel rms. The speakers sound loud enough to listen with the top down at highway speeds. They also sound clear and balanced when the top is up. You may want to add a sub for a deeper bass.

I need to clarify something on my last answer... There are no built in subs in these speakers. They have dual 6.5 inch ported woofers. The low end sound they produce are more than adequate for my needs. If you choose to add a separate sub to your system, I feel you won't need much as this model of speaker carries the low end quite well

hey mate, they are great for mixing. you will not need an extra sub as they hv inbuilt subs. infact the low end sounds fantastic on them.

That aaaaall depends on your production/genre of music. I don't need them making all sorts of Electronic Dance Music. But I've heard adding a sub makes the sonic range even sweeter in the lowest end. If I had the cash...m'yeah...I'd get the sub, but for now as an intermediate producer, I can happily do without. PS. I bought these instead of the HS50 or HS60 because indeed, those models were bass-poor and only designed for rock, organic jazz or symphony production.

Only if you want terrific sound. I have different settings on my Sony receiver, anddepending on your source of music(pandora, streaming, or Bluetooth, some only use lpcm frequencies. So some music sounds better with a 5.1 setting, while other formats sound richer with 2.1 which sends an LFE (low frequency signal to Sub. Its about preference. But with these speakers I never overwork my amp and get plenty of volume without distortion. The center channel speaker is also awesome. Cheapest price is amazon. Might have to wait a few days/5...youll be glad you did.

I'm very pleased with the full range of these speakers. They cannot compete with a dedicated sub on the low end but do a fine job on their own. I have a 5.1 home theatre that's not comparable (apples & oranges); I'm using these strictly for music in the dining/kitchen area.
