Do i need an amp to power these speakers?

No you don't, however I would not recommend hooking these up to a stock/factory stereo. I am using these with a Alpine CDE-123 and they sound amazing. Very good bass, mids and highs. These speakers can handle 100 watts RMS, which is a ton of power. In order to really push these speakers to their best, you would need to amp them. But that is a whole other beast. If you're one to amp these, then it's probably because you are adding a sub as well. I hope I answered your question. Let me know if you need anything else.

In my opinion you do not need an amp for these speakers. I think most of these speakers are supposed to be for a radio output of 50 watts per speakers so that match the typical radio. But, I will have to let you know that I do not really like these speakers for my car. I finally realized that my original speakers in my car had no tweeters; therefore, when I replaced them with tweeter it sounded to high pitch and not enough base. I bought some speakers at "speaker city" in burbank, which have given me the best sound, and they only cost $25 each. Good luck

No amp is needed, but I have mine hooked up to an amp just to give them that little extra kick.

You do not need an amp with these speakers. Any P.A. speakers that are labeled "Powered" or "Active" have an amp built in. I recently purchased a set of these and I am extremely happy with them. The do great for cocktail music, speeches, or for music in a small setting.

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.

No. You would need a received or amp to power them. You can get a cheap one for about 40$.

You do not need an amp to run the speakers, but it it's highly recommended to get the most sound from these speakers. The blue LED lights will need a 12 volt power supply.

You will need an amp unless you are getting a powered subwoofer which comes with a built in amp

Probably not, your going to need a amp otherwise they end up fairly underpowered

Nope it's 30-something ohm so any source can easily power them. I've plugged them into my android phone, my wife's iPad, and my work computer and all powered them easily. Volume levels were good and sound quality was great. I did get a budget dac amp for my work computer and I'd say there seemed to be the slightest performance increase, but it also could have been my ears getting used to the headphones. So no, an amp is not needed.

These are not powered speakers they require an amplifier or PA. Only then could you do connect it.

No you will not need an amp I have ssl DD888 which is 85×4 and my speakers are 200 watts (100watts rms) a piece and I'm pushing for of them that = 800 watts or 400 watts rms actually I wished I'd had went bigger watts I can only go to about volume lvl 23 with bass adjustment + 4 before they start poping

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

No, they will work without an amp. Yes, for them to work at peak performance. Really depends on your standards of sound quality. Mine sound fine without an amp.

Technically, yes, the topping amp can power those speakers. But, the sound quality is not going to be there due to sheer lack of power. You can increase the volume, and it will get louder, but the distortion level of the amp will be high. I am using it too power 2 Dayton 652's for my computer setup, and it works just fine. ymmv

No ,you need an amplifier or a audio receiver to use these speakers cause they are pasive not active.

No I have not, but if it's a 4ohm rated amp I wonder if there will be adequate power to sufficiently power them (depending on your needs), as these are 8 ohm speakers.
