ChrisT Posted September 13, 2003 Report Share Posted September 13, 2003 Hi All, With the impending arrival of my S3 I am going to ditch my current lightning amp and look for something new. The speakers in the car are: Fronts 5 1/4" Diamond Audio Hex (requires max 150RMS) Sub 10" Diamond Audio M5 (requires max 400RMS) I have a budget of around about £300 could stretch a little more, any suggestions on what to get and where from? I have a friend who has just bought a Rockford Fosgate Power 551x which is very nice but would like something different. Cheers, Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snail Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 Mate, have a look at Car Audio Direct or Cel-Direct for that budget you can get some tasty stuff, to match your current speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 I had good results with Pheonix Gold/MB Quart in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John32 Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 Genesis well worth a listen, the profile range should fit budget - from memory the four channel version is £300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisT Posted September 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 Good guess John it is. Its currently my favourite choice. I was just going to post and see what people thought about it! I'm slightly concerned by its relatively low power output or am I just being silly I'm just afraid that the sub could really do with a bit more juice? Cheers, Chris.

Snail Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 Genesis are supposed to be very good.....and like most companies dont tell the full story with their output ratings......i believe Steve_c_nwales used to have genesis kit in his motor, and that rocked.....

Punjabi-A4 Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 the output should be fine...they usually give a low output..but usually produce much more power. Unlike the pants ones that claim 2000 watts.....but in P.I.M.P.O or sumthin (no reference to the 50 Cent song lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John32 Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 Always worked for me that a good 30 watts is better than a poor 60 and you don't get much better than Genesis. I have the Compact Four which IMO is fantastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisT Posted September 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 Cheers for the info guys, I think I'll try it once I have the car and the necessary funds! Cheers, Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
