active speakers come in box's pre made including and amp all you have to do is give it power and input(music) for it to work. passive speakers need a source of power ie an amp or your head unit.for an amp of 100w per channel you need speakers at least double w ie 200w but I'd go for a little bigger say 300w so you can rinse your tunes out .enjoy.

Active speakers have built-in amplifiers.
Passive speakers need an external amplifier (such as your Akai).
Any cheap pair of speakers will be OK for an old amp like that.
