Not unless you would like to add subwoofers or something. This radio IS basically just a small power amplifier. Mine works great, the only downside is that it does not seem to have many options, such as balance left and right, or fade front to rear; to change which speakers are louder. The AUX input is really why I bought mine, to plug my mp3 player into- which works great too.

The radio has a 3 volt "DC In" input jack (looks standard) on it. So the answer is yes, but I have never used it.

No it does not. I was disappointed. Absolutely great radio though. Too notch performance.

yes, it does need a receptacle nearby the amplifier to provide power to the amplifier. Amplifier also has a on/off switch which needs to be turned on.

Yes. Plus the signal is so strong I use a preamp. But a preamp isn't necessary, just more convenient.

yes it does, I bought 2 and they came with ac adapters. That's how I use it - plugged in on my kitchen countertop. They're nice radios and the reception is good (once it's in the right position, but you'll figure it out).

No.. This item only has an input for RF (External Antenna) in which you need an adapter for, an earphone output and a DC input. That's it. I hope this helps.

No. It uses a 5.2V Power Supply that plugs to the back of one of the speakers.

No. No power needed. Just hook up the speaker wire to your receiver and you are good to go.

Absolutely not. You'll need a receiver or a power amp of some sort. (And no, not an iPod.)

No. It has a line output only that needs to feed an external amplifier. You can plug it into powered computer speakers and it will work fine.

Yes you need to have a battery to power this radio it does not come with any other form of power hook up

you will need a preamp or a reciever with preamp outputs...its a nice unit for the money, it does have a power gain control on the back of the unit if you are pairing it with another amp..good luck
