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

Cut the plug in off and wire it up to one of your speakers... No amp needed

No amp necessary. They are loud and crisp. I have an Alpine 10" type r connected to an alpine 500 watt amp and it all sounds perfectly balanced.

The amplifier is built into the box. You will need to run a remote wire (tells the amp to turn when you turn the car on), power wire from the battery, ground wire and RCAs.

No, you need an outboard amp to run it. I have a 500 Watt CRUNCH hooked up to it now I think even though I doubt I'd ever run that much since it's in a single cab truck.

it is just an amplifier. make sure your replacement speakers are capable of handling the increased power input. do NOT tap power from your car's battery. source power from your fuse box. Cooper Bussmann/ATC fuse tapPrice: $5.99Part Number: BP-HHA-RP from Autozone.it is compatible with any head unit. just cut off the RCA connectors from the AMP to use the Speaker out wires from your car's head unit. Please, buy an adapter [do NOT slice into or cut your car's headunit wiring harness]. again, it WILL work. Solder all your connections. Good Luck. Happy New Year!

One that will fit into your vehicle, make sure that the box is port slotted, the bigger the better! And your amp really needs to be at least 2000Watts, and wire them at 1 ohm

You need an amplifier. There are no head units that im aware of that will properly power a sub.

Don't expect much without an Amp, Must of the Mobils capable only to drive 16 Ohm.Pick up an amp and you will hear wonders.

I can't image you'd need an amp as there are 3 gain settings (1.3Vrms(Low gain), 2.0Vrms(Mid gain), 2.8Vrms(High Gain) should have no problem at all driving even difficult-to-drive cans. The internal amp is very, very high quality.

You do not need an amp to run this one but you do for the other one, you can just buy this one and hook it to the other.

Yeah if the speakers are connected to the head unit .. Other wise no I'm assuming you bought the amp To power the speakers so you wouldn't have it connected it to the head unit

you dont need any extra wire you just use the wire already in the car, you can get connectors to make your life easier, but mostly you want an amp for them

If you are going to hook up in series you are going to need to add amplifiers because you are going to increase the impedance. My suggestion would be to purchsse a speaker selector switch box which distributes the current evenly and you can turn all on or some off. Speaker switch boxes are normally passive, otherwise you are going to need to biamp or you'll end up frying the car stereo's built in amp.

I have seen advertised an installation kit for home use. In my car the audio output goes to the line in jack, so if your amp has a stereo line input you should be good to go.

Yes, you will need an amp. a 50 watt rms worked out well for me. It sounds great.
