Can these speakers be used as individual speakers or do you need a sub woofer to use these.

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!

They are 8 ohm Speakers. They are satellites so they produce Mid & Highs down to 180 hz. You would need any Sub woofer hooked to your receiver to produce lows below 200 Hz. They do not require a Bose sub all it does is the same thing any new receiver ap does (ie. YAPO, Audyssey) except through pre determined rules in lieu of actual mic measurement.

If you use a Bose SA2 or Sa3 amplifier will work great other wise you will need a 4ohm amplifier for better sound it is recommend to use a subwoofer

You can use them as individual espeakers but the quality is not the same if you connect them a subwoofer

To my knowledge, you need the Bose Acoustimass (sub woofer) in order to have the Bose cubes work properly.

I have used these for my front, rt and lt speakers, and center for years and hooked them direct to my reciver rt and lt and center they work great.

They are sold separately, each in its own box, and shipped separately as with most upper end floor speakers. If you want a pair you will need to buy two. PS: Love mine, they are well worth it.

What exactly is your question? I have a pair of these as rear surround mounted on the ceiling behind a couple of theater seats...they sound awesome..but i have a sub hooked up...ok from previous answers i gather you want to use them as rear speakers..not good idea..they are mainly surround speakers, so not very good bass response.

We bought an amp to go with them. These are subwoofers and accentuate the bass in songs. I think you probably just need new speakers.

in my opinion, this is an odd question. Due to the fact that these are studio monitors, which should ONLY be purchased when needing to reproduce RECORDINGS with accuracy so that you can mix them as best you can. You can certainly add woofers, but it would defeat the purpose. If you want to get a woofer then don't waste your money on these, instead get a couple of SPEAKERS (not monitors) that go well with a woofer.

I do not have them set up that way but I don't see why not if you buy an aftermarket system to do it. The speakers sound great w/ a polk audio sub!

You need to plug them into the wall outlet to power the built in sub-woofers. As others have said, if you don't you are not fully utilizing the full functionality.

Sorry I have no idea, I use the Emotiva Stealth 8 speakers which do not require subs and I never felt the need to find out if you could use the RCA outputs for sub woofers.

You can get them as a pair or single speaker,It will let you know in the description, I got a pair with xlr and 8 inch domes for $500, and they're very worth the money.According to the description above this is for the single speaker.

Likely not. They don't function as 'stand alone' speakers - they have a built in amplifier. They can't be used with an already amplified signal.

Each unit is two speakers connected together. They may be two small speakers, but they are one unit. You need two of these to have a balanced sound. Bigger issue I didn't understand is that these are designed to only be used with Bose subwoofers. They must be wired from a Bose subwoofer to work properly, and the subwoofer must be driven by a powerful receiver, like 100 watt per channel size. So, plan on buying these mini speakers with a Bose subwoofer and the whole setup connected to a good sized receiver.

It's not a full set of speakers no. They are part of a two part set. By themselves they are not very good I don't know what these people are talking about

Yes the speakers work just fine without the sub. The difference will be amazing when you do hear them with the sub.
867930
No. They require an amp and normal speaker wires. For best results you will also want a subwoofer.

Yes, but you'd still need an amplifier to power them; only the sub-woofer has an onboard amp. In my opinion you would want to use a sound card/interface with 5.1 capability to maximize the speakers through a PC system.

These will work nicely as main (L-R)speakers. Elevating off of the floor with stands, on bookshelf, etc. will be a consideration for most. They lack deep bass, but sound fine never the less. A subwoofer can fill in if desired. I would suggest avoiding excessive bass enhancement settings at elevated power input levels, to prevent damage, and improve sound quality.

No, these speakers need to be driver by a seperate amp to work. The sub does have it's own power and only requires an RCA input from your reciever (or possibly your PC) though.
