No, these are not self-powered speakers. They need some sort of amplification.

They can be connected directly to your amp. But you will definitely need an amp they need some real power.

You will need to run the speakers using an external amplifier. I use an AudioSource Amp 100 and it sounds good.

Yes, if you only have a head unit with no built in amp, it would be a good idea to get an amp for these speakers. They will still work without an amp, but they won't be as loud or have hardly any bass. As for which type or size of an amp to get, I can't help you there.

You don't need a amp for these. And I have no idea what to recommend if you want one.

They are not powered speakers if that's what your asking. Pair them with a Lepai 2020 amp ($20) and you could hook it up.

Ye you need an amp, they are not powered speakers. They are passive speakers as indicated by the "P" in "B2030P" which means you need an amp to power them.

These will do okay without an amp on mp3/phone, you might have to consider buying portable amp to these headphones to their actual potential.

Absolutely yes, you can. Plug them into the same mini-phono jack which you would use for audio output to a pair of good headphones, to an amplifier, or to a pair of powered speakers. This unit also has small cheap built-in speakers which you can use when you do not care about audio quality.

Can an iPhone be connected to these speakers independent of a PC? We want to use to playback music while rehearsing (live music).

No, and they arent powered so you'd need an amp/receiver to use with ipod etc, they've got the kind of jacks for using speaker wire

These speakers are not amplified,therefore you will need to buy an amplifier.

No they don't. You will need to buy a speaker wire with a 1/4" end AND you'll have to buy an adaptor that has a male 1/4" hole on one side and a 3.5mm hole on the other. You then buy a 3.5mm "mini jack" cable that plugs into the earphone hole of your device. Neither of these is expensive. the speakers work well and are a lot more convenient to haul around than separate amps and speakers. Good luck

You need to buy a speaker system. You will not need an amplifier if you get a powered speaker.

Yes you will need a separate amp. No these do not connect directly to a computer.

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!
