my budjet is below 2k for component set. any recommendation to pair with genesis profile 4 ? normally i listen to normal song(like jay chou and etc), and sometimes R&B and Trance music.

Focal K2P or Pioneer PRS. Both sets have strong mid bass but some may claimed them having bright tweeters. I believe all boils down to tuning. Anyway, it will be better that u get an audit whether it suits your taste.

well, 50W rms will make the k2p sing but dun expect much from the midbass section. no interest in my Boston? 80W rms onli needed. /66 much cheaper than the k2p... /62

Shouldn't be much an issue. Try to power them through active set up or bridge your amp for passive set up. Dampen your doors properly. The K2P will still sing. The bass could be tuned to your preference from the HU. The Pioneer PRS requires much lesser power than the K2P. In fact, its mid bass is stronger and rounder, but less impact than the K2P. By the way, what's your budget for the speakers??? As all should agree, you get for what u pay.

Bridge 4ohm or bi-amp. Bi-amp means one ch per speaker (2 for tweets 2 for mids).

should have gone for a lower rms speaker la, this genesis profile really no power one. 

u can only run the amp 2 x 50W for front and 140W x 1 bridge mono for sub

Better next time get a monoblock. What can you do with 140W? 9" sub?
