Lovely subs would recommend a matching Genesis amp, something like the profile 2. If your budget doesn't strech so far then i would consider

JBL 75.2

US Amps XT1600.2 (well and truely over kill )

DLS CA22

audiobahn....... my mates got one wider than my car,,lol

no realy though. i would go with genesis, phoenix gold, Rockford Fosgate or even the Alpine Type R amps, they look like little suitcases..lol

PDX-2.150
2/1 Channel Power Density Digital Amplifier

RMS Power

[2ohms @14.4V 1%THD]: 150W x 2
[4ohms @14.4V 1%THD]: 150W x 2

This should do the job right?? Sorry Im no expert but 150w would bring the Genesis to some justice? Is it enough power? It wouldnt kill the battery if it wasnt cranked up too often would it? Im thinking of getting this one for her.

Thanks

looks good! and no, 150w wouldn't even take a scratch at your battery... if you were running the car your battery would laugh at the amount of power it would draw (thanks to the alternator). And even when your car was turned off it would take forever to kill the battery ... It's when you get into things that exceed 1000w that your battery and alternator kinda go "" in which case you need to upgrade your alternator and/or get a second battery... but as i said before, 150w isn't even pocket change to your battery lol. Besides, if you're only powering speakers, you don't need more than 300w cause you should really only be using your speakers for the tweeters anyways... they don't produce enough real bass to be worth it... that's what subs are for!!

thats the one, ,its the same spec as the old V12's only...better, but its about 1/4 the size of the old one. and theyre stackable as the round metal parts in the corners are magnets...

Uber cool

Genesis is in a completely different league to all those other brands

Go with the suggestions from Mike, but what is your budget?

 

[Gurpreet]

Budget is 410 max!

Ideally Id like it all for 300... or 250... 150 for the sub 6x9s and 100-200 for the amp

anyone have any experience with these brands/amps?

REF300.2 - 85x2 @ 4 ohms

and

Infinity: REF-7521A - 97x2 @ 4 ohms


Swaying to the Alpine at the mo.
Had some infinity 6x9s in the K10 one time... and they sounded good off a kenwood amp... but dunno how the Infinity amps sound... mind you bass boost doesnt sound too promising... I once read that stable amplifiers dont have bass/treble controls... and they dont really need them do they? As the HU does most of that... wonder if it has a low pass filter on it then... anyhow.. before I confuse myself...

Back in the days... the soundstream was good too.

Thanks mike... we'll have to see how much I have left from the Engine conversion... that JBL looks good though.. I will try hear that next weekend so I can make an informed decision...

Cheers guys

Fail to believe that their is a 10,000w rms amp on ebay, most likely over quoted p.m.p.o. figures.

Hifonics is where it's at :grinning:

 

[mike]

know about that and the one zapco use to make but the likelyhood of them coming up on ebay and within this price point is slim to none.
