Yes, otherwise its pretty much pointless. These EQs are designed for multi-channel amps or multiple amplifier systems. The high voltage balanced rca outputs are really icing on the cake but you have to have something to plug it into to use that feature.
I suppose if the head unit has rca line level inputs you could loop the EQ into the system thus using it as your pre-amp, but without the amp it wouldn't be worthwhile to mess with.
