Unless you have 'active' speakers (which are already amp'ed) you will need an amp to run decks though yes...that is if you want to hear what your playing...you could just imagine your Andy C if you have no sounds.

You could just mix in the headphones if you like? lol

Yeah it only depends on the type of speakers you have.

If you have unpowered ones you need an amp, which you then plug into your mixer. If you have active speakers you can plug them directly into the mixer.

If you dont have speakers yet you can make a decision on how an amp would fit onto your desk or how much money you have. Other than that there is little difference to a home DJ.

Yes, they are 'powered by themselves' :hits head on wall as to lack of basic music equipment knowledge:.
