Can a powered subwoofer connect to a RCA amp?

Do speakers have a built-in amplifier?

A passive speaker doesn’t have a built-in amplifier; it needs to be connected to your amplifier through normal speaker wire. Active speakers, on the other hand, have a built-in amplifier and are fed by a low-level (line-level) signal passed along an interconnect cable originating at your preamplifier or controller.

Do you need a power amp for passive speakers?
