Do you need to buy a separate amp to use this set?

You don't need an amp per say. But you will need speakers/studio monitors or anything you can use as a speaker. I am using an amp as a speaker b/c I already had an amp I wasn't using. There are no external speakers so without a speaker you will only be able to hear the kit through headphones.

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

You need speakers and amp. You can buy all in one unite which means your amp is part of your speakers. Remember the quality and sound depends on your speakers. The better the speaker the better you sound.

It comes with all that. No amp kit needed. Also no need for other extras... It has everything to hook up to your stock or aftermarket system.

You need a receiver. The subwoofer is passive so it does not require an amp. I returned mine however as the sound was poor

It comes with all you need if you have all your wires in the vehicle already running. Overall it is a good set up for a beginner, I just advise you to get another amp for these speakers and you will hear a difference

Hi Anne, You do need a amp., I use a little Peavey Solo and it works just fine. Hope this helps, Mike

No, you'll need an amplifier of some kind. I purchased a small Pyle amp from Amazon to run mine.

Nope. External amps or powered speakers are required. ..as is the willingness to work with unreliable gear.

You don't have to buy an amp. The only way to damage these speakers, would be to overpower them or literally break them. They are great speaker on their own, but the way to get the most out of them is to get an amp. A 250 watt amp is ideal for these speakers.

If youre playing it by itself your amp is your limit. If played in conjunction with other signals a mixer of some sort would definitely be necessary.

No you will need a separate amp. I bought an inexpensive Pioneer that pushes 150 watts per channel and these speakers sound true and rich.

You don't need a separate amp to make these work on the ps3. It will make it sound better for sure (I use the astro mixamp myself and the combination of that plus these headphones is phenomenal). But it's not required. All you do is use the plug with the RCA cables (it comes with the ps3) and use an adapter that goes from that down to a 3.5mm jack. This can be had for just a few dollars.

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