Noob with a modified Genesis Coupe

Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone! Stumbled upon this forum researching on Sundown Audio amps. My name is Jay. I work for Shop SFM / GCTuner the aftermarket performance side of Vertical Doors INC in Corona, CA (yeah the lambo door kit guys lol :woot: ) I've been modifying my ride since day one (Literally no stock day since ownership! :lol2: ) I'm in the market now to do a simple sub and amp setup (budget friendly & light weight if possible). I don't need super loud and prefer clean SQ sound. I'm super noobish especially when it comes to this department so I appreciate any and all help. For now I'll be trolling the site reading up on your guys' setups. Thank you very much!

Here's a few pics on my car build so far:

Sweet ride! Your pictures are awesome!

If I wanted small efficient amplifiers I would look into the JL Audio HD series. The HD900/5 would be great to power a complete system.

Ever seen the turbo kit Lovefab did for the Genesis? If not check it out, it's pretty cool. Welcome to the site, I hope you enjoy your stay! I'm a little bit of a gearhead myself ;)

I was also thinking the JL HD 900/5. It is very small for the Large power output it has. It looks very nice which would look great in your genesis. Great amp for your full setup, all 4 speakers and sub. It sounds like a perfect all in one amp for the setup you wanted.

Yes! i'm actually a vendor on gencoupe.com under gctuner '

One of our close customers actually bought the Lovefab genesis coupe. I wish i had gotten the turbo myself but i just got a better deal on the v6 for some strange reason :)

Nice work on the car. look forward to the audio. I've used the HD amps quite a bit and I like them. I own one of JL's XD amps and it's pretty nice, but it doesn't have enough power, so if you need loud, count out the XD

I am currently running an Audioque amp and have nothing but good things to say about it. Couldn't be happier. As far as Sundown goes, the customer service is outstanding, as well as quality from what I hear. i have no experience with them, so I can't say. But, you WILL be happy with those two choices without a doubt.

I'm more into sound quality than loud. I've got a wife and baby that ride with me most of the time. I've been thinking of possibly even just one 10 inch woofer would satisfy me but i might end up going with two just to make it aesthetically proportional. I've got some entry level CDT audio components and i was thinking of putting in some entry level arc audio subwoofers, not only because i've read good things about them but they actually look really nice as well.
