Need good sound for a monthly party (ipod only) , should I get 2 of these, or one of these and it will power a passive speaker as well?

One is plenty loud. You'd only need two if you wanted the sound in stereo. I'm not sure if it will power a passive speaker.

Your options would be to buy powered speakers or buy an amplifier to drive passive speakers

It has more volume and better sound than my laptop internal speakers and it comes with a volume control. It does well for a USB powered speaker without an external powered amp. I use it to listen to Sirius Internet Radio from my laptop. I stay plugged in most of the time so I cannot say how fast your battery would be drained by using it but it should not use any more than your internal speakers in your device you are using does.

As ListenUp stated, this isn't the best configuration but a workable one. I regularly connect an iPod or a laptop directly to my M1PWR and get decent results. I also have an old amp and speakers from a former auto that I use to play my iPod in the garage. Adding other devices between the source and the amp is better and more correct, but until you get these - have fun! As far as speakers, be sure they can handle the power and don't over drive them. The M1PWR deserves decent speakers, but you don't have to go crazy to get decent sound.

To be honest, the quality of sound you will get depends on the speakers and the amplifier you use for those speakers. I have some old technics 5 speaker system (2 towers, 2 surround and 1 front) connected to a Pioneer receiver and they sound great. This device essentially replaces the cable from your phone/tablet/ipod to the amplifier or receiver. It is like asking which speakers work best with an ipod... it really does not depend on the ipod!

From what I've read, it's usually better to have a little more power going to a speaker than not enough. Just don't crank the volume all the way up and you should be fine.

I don't mind using a single honestly. It providesa lot of sound. Provided it will be mono if you do this. So if you stil want stereo, then I suggest two. However i just used mine for a laptop orchestra so they pack a punch! You could also purchase one and see if you are happy with the sound before you! comit! I think they are really designed for the portable aspect rather than the sound. The sound is much better on the ceramic unit though. HOPE THIS HELPS!

Hi, this is passive PA Speaker. To use them need an amplifier or receiver. Recommended amplifier power 70W

That's chillin'. I'm running mine at 420watts at 2ohm. There is a general consensus that powering any speaker at 80% will ensure longevity and durability.

Syncing is easy, simply tie your other speaker into this one. A double end cord from one to the other should work fine as long as both speakers are powered.

I did get 2 speakers. I would also recommend the adapters to plug and play. They make them in a 2 pack also.

To have a stro sound you need 2 speaker but The sound you can get from your iPod is a quality sound, If you have a good speaker everything is okay.

I used the lp-20-20a lepai mini amp with power supply for the 2 speakers i bought. sounded decent for the price and aux port was nice. if you go with this amp id recommend at leat an 18g wire.

It's not a good idea. You are buying this to have sufficient power to drive each pair of headphones you are using. Doing this will cut the power available in half and you will then complain of volume problems. This would be like buying a simple splitter from Radio Shack, plugging that into your iPod (or any source), and then plugging two pair of headphone into it. Not enough power to do that, and that's why you need an amplified unit in the first place. I hope this helps.

One speaker will work, possibly want 2 if you want both sides of the yard to have music.
