Can one go from the receiver directly to a powered speaker -or- does one need an amplifier between the receiver and the speaker?

Theoretically, if the speaker is "powered" as you say, the amplifier should be built into the speaker - hopefully it supports mic level audio, which it probably does. If you give me the model of the speaker, I can probably answer that for you. Now, getting the connection adapted may be a little more challenging. It is a 1/8" plug (same as a set of headphones) coming out of the receiver, so you'll need to adapt that to whatever the powered speaker has. Again, if you give me the model, perhaps I can help more.

Your receiver has plenty of power to drive the Polk speakers. You don't need the extra amp.Good luck

Yes, it requires a separate amplifier (not "pre-amp") to power passive speakers. This mixer only outputs pre-amp level signals that need to go to a power amplifier to increase the signal enough to drive unpowered speakers. You need to feed the output of this mixer into an amplifier, whether that amplifier is standalone that in turn drives speakers, or the amplifiers are built into powered speakers.

I think yes, you need to connect the amplifier to the "phone out" of the receiver

Yes, these are passsive (non-powered) speaks, so you will need an amp or receiver.

You can use a sub-woofer in conjunction with this pair of speakers, but not without a receiver. There is no port that would allow you to directly link the two. Further, the speakers are not powered (they're passive) and require a power source (receiver) to function.

Mine is run thru an amplifier which is hooked up to speakers. Not sure whether it can be hooked up to speakers directly.

You have to connect this to a receiver or amplifier. The speakers are connected to the receiver. You choose the receiver and speakers.

Not directly. They are speakers. Speakers need to connect to amp or receiver first

Not directly.... It have to be conected to a amplifier ( home theatre mostly )

The amp has four pair of RCA Stereo jacks on the rear and a standard 3.5mm stereo jack on the front, for a total of five inputs. Provided the receiver has the ability to output to another amp or device this should not be a problem. As an alternative, if the receiver has a headphone jack, you could make a direct connection to the 'Aux-In' jack on the front of the amp. Finally, I imagine that the receiver must have speaker output terminals which could easily be attached to some old RCA cables and connected to a pair of the rear inputs.

If you are using two speakers, then yes. You need one for each speaker to go from speaker to amplifier. These are 'speaker cables,' NOT 'Line' level cords. You'll need a pair of 'Line-level' cords, (Same as guitar/instrument cords. One each for left out & right out of the mixer), to pass signal from the mixer, (Assuming it is NOT a powered mixer), to send signal to the inputs of the amplifier. The speaker cables then go from the output of the amplifier, (Left & right 'Speaker out'), to each speaker. The dual inputs of each speaker are looped. Therefore, you can use either or. (Unless it is a bi-amplifiable speaker, then use the input marked 'Full-Range' only) If it is a powered mixer, you only need two 'speaker cables.' One for each out, (L&R), to each speaker.

The connection points to the receiver are proprietary, the connection points to the speaker are hardwired. If the speaker blows you can splice a regular speaker wire to the connector and as long as the replacement speaker matches impedance you should be fine.

Yes but you have to have an external amp or receiver to power the speakers.

In the previous response I hit yes by accident. I am not sure what you are asking because this is an adapter that you use on some Bose products if you have bare speaker wire. The bare wire could be coming from a receiver, amplifier or whatever you are using to power the speaker. Whatever it is, you will need bare speaker wire coming from that electronic item going into this adapter which will be connected to the back of the Bose speaker. So to answer your question no you don't have to have a receiver to use the adapter but you will need something that use bare speaker wire to power the Bose speakers. Hope this helps with your question.

Would recommend using receiver to power speakers not sure if the can be connected to your projector

Yes, this goes between your existing radio and harness, the audio from the deck will still power the speakers. Use the line out to hook up to an external amp.
