do these speakers work without a separate amp and just the radio HU?

In a 2012, "yes". They are pretty much the same amperage as stock....the magnets are much larger and the cone material higher quality. The change in sound is like night-and-day. I installed 4; 2 in dash and 2 in soundbar. Make sure you buy some cheap "pillow stuffing" and stuff the speaker cavities as much as possible, THEN install the speakers. This helps reduce or eliminate all the "plastic rattle" when volume is high.

Yes they do. I changed out all 4 of mine with these speakers and have base stock Head Unit. Added a little polyfil and they sound 10X better than stock.

Yes they do and they mount up well and sound much better in my 2013 JKU soundbar

They will work either way, but the over head console will rattle so it will have to be filled with speaker sound fleet.

Yes, I works fine with just the stock radio. We put 2 speakers in the sound bar and 2 in the dashboard. The sound quality comes out so much better than the stock speakers that came with our 2014 jeep.

These speakers are not self powered. You will need an amp of some kind to power them. They are good speakers for the price. I like mine.

Only if your deck has enough power to push them, but it also depends on if you have a sub woofer too. If you're just listening to classical music with no sub, these will work just fine without an amp. But if you have a lot of bass coming from your sub, you will probably want an amp to push these. I put on an amp to these and I have s sub. You want the input (deck power) to match the output (speakers) power as closely as possible for the best sound. It's better to have more input cuz you will never blow them cuz it'll be too loud lolHope this helps.

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.

No. My husband used these to replace the speakers in his vehicle No amp needed.

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

the output is that of a tuner so if your speakers have a built in amp you should be ok, if not your out of luck or you will have to have a seperate amp

You can wire the speakers to any head unit or a separate amp, it's your choice. All head units have the capability to directly connect to speakers and most head units from reputable brands will also allow wiring to a separate amp in addition to the direct connections.

No you don't but it really depends on the amp in your current head unit. The more clean power you can provide to them without exceeding the speakers RMS the better. I hope that helps. Try them with your current had unit and if you need more power then add an amp.

No an amp isn't necessary. But without one you won't be as satisfied. I really like these speakers but after i have them the power they craved I feel in love. Plus they look amazing!

No u do not need an amp BUT they would sound sooooooo much better with an amp... I have 2 pairs of these speakers hooked to a Punch PBR 300 amp & they sound incredible !!!

No, just regular non powered stereo speakers. Don't sound half bad though especially if there's a sub involved.

if you have self powered speakers you will not need an amp, if you speakers are not powered you will need an amp.

Not without an AMP or receiver to power them your TV alone only puts out a sound signal nothing big enough to power a speaker other than your headphones out of the front jack

Brian, these are self powered so you don't need an amp. You can hook them to a computer, an MP3 player, or whatever source you have, no need for anything else. The amp is in the left speaker and you need to run a speaker wire to the right speaker and whala you have great tunes!
