Anyone here with experience with Genesis amps ?

would like to know if anyone here has any experience with these amps.

The power rating on these is way off.

my stereo 100 that Genesis say is 2 x 50 genesis watts gives much more sound quality and alot more power than my Kenwood 2 x 100 rms watt amp. and i´m just running it at 4 ohm and 12v it can go up to 18v and down to 2 ohm.

Are the power ratings on Genesis just to conservative or are the "big brands" just selling us fake ratings ?

Any info would be nice.

Yes and yes.

You are comparing apples to oranges.. you will never find Genesis amps at walmart.

Genesis amps are in the top tier of amps.

I wouldn't be surprised if it does double what they rate it at.

Ok, thanks guys.. Been a long time since I was into car stereos. my first system when i was 18 was a Genesis + DLS system with 2 stereo 100´s 2 12" dm´s and ok dls speakers all round ( not the reference series ) Just got 3 Genesis amps yesterday that look like new and tested by a pro ( 1 dual mono and 2 stereo 100´s ) for 300$, here in Iceland that´s a steal, stopped selling them here some years ago because they were to expensive.

Any suggestions for a 10" woofer or a 12" that fits into a small box. need to get the kid stuff into the trunk. preferably with dual coils, will use the dual mono bridged and prob. running at 14.4 v haven´t decided yet. Don´t need to much noise, want to get clear quality sound.

oh and one more thing. Soundstream tarantula speakers ? got 2 sst 6.9 for the back and 2 decent ones for the front + there are 2 original tweeters in front

( old audi a4 ) Any chance i´m gonna get quality sound out of these ? got them new in box for next to nothing . (20$.. trying to do this on a budget )

Any info is greatly appreciated.
