How are these powered? Do you need a power amp? Or could I get by with something cheaper?

These aren't powered cabinets. You need a power amplifier. They're not terribly high power, so it wouldn't have to be a high wattage amp.

You need an Amp. Pro Audio 10 inch speaker, 4" x 8" piezo horn tweeter, a frequency response of 45Hz to 20,000Hz, and 100 watts RMS, 200 watts peak power.

You would need a power amp. used one for $100-$200. I recommend the powered versions SA-10MT-PW-Pair

You need to run them out of a amp. But I ran a line out of a keyboard and they work well as larger external speakers for keyboards.A Yamaha YPG keyboard has an output of what, about 6 watts? I mainly use them at coffee houses from a monitor out on a Fender Passport PA system.

I actually power mine with an 8 watt tube amp (the K12G kit amplifier from TubeDepot). Sounds great and easily fills a bedroom or small office with sound. Most of the smaller solid state amps sold through Amazon have more power than that, so really any decent one will work.

These are standard 500 watt 8 ohm PA speakers. You will need an external amplifier to use them. These are not powered. I have had really good luck with these speakers.

Well not really sure what you are asking but I have these on a 200watt amp with no issues. They are well built and I have no problem running large power amps through them.Good luck.

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

These have no power source of their own, so you will need to buy something like the Lepai lp-2020a+ (or similar) to power them. They can handle up to 75 Watts/Channel. You will then need an auxiliary cord to go from your iPhone to the amp of your choosing. Mediabridge makes good affordable ones. Let me know if this helps!

Hi Chris, They are good without an amp but are even better with one. I have a fairly inexpensive amp and it works just fine. You will need an adaptor for laptops etc.

You can install them without an amp. These just respond really well with more power. They love to be cranked up!

To push them well you will want a external 4ch amp. But that's a good start and will totally work! Enjoy.

You would absolutely need an amp. These are home theater floor model speakers and not small computer speakers. They are loud when they are hooked up to a loud amp.

You do not need a Pyle Amp, they are powered as their own unit. Just plug in to power, and your good to go. Thanks

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.

They do not come with wiring. They are also not powered, you would need a receiver or some other amp to power these.

Hi John, unfortunately the description is quite messed up so i can't be sure, the thing is that when i went to an audio store to purchase a power amp the employer there told me is 100watts each, these speakers for their price are perfect but it requires a power amp which costs too much money, hope i answered your question :)

No not at all. They are generally low impedence @ 32ohm so an amp is not really necessary to dtive these.

As the guys answered before, you need an amp to properly power these speakers or you will be disappointed.

These are passive speakers. They do not have a built in amplifier. You will need a outside amplifier. I am using an older pioneer stereo amplifier to power the speakers.
