the spec of the component as below :

# 6-1/2" KRX2 2-way Component System
# Power Handling:
* Peak: 400 watts per set / 200 watts each side
* RMS: 200 watts per set / 100 watts each side
# 2 ohms impedance

when i bridge the amp to 2 channel , will it produce 4 ohm 2x140W ? Or i run as 3 channel will it run as 2x70W(2ohm) + 140W (4ohm)/ 2x50W (4ohm) and 140W(4ohm).if i can't run it as 2x70W(2ohm) + 140W(4ohm) , then can i bridge it to 2x140W(4ohm) since the spec of the speaker is 2ohm? if genesis is not a suitable to run KRX2, wat amp should i get to match it perfectly ? please give me some choices so i can make some decission either to sell the amp to buy a new 1. sorry for asking such a noob question as i'm still newbie and blur with those amp and speaker match.

Try to bridge it at 2 channel to power them passive. See whether it is adequate to your liking. If it is still not up to your expectation, then only change. My opinion is to maintain this Genesis amp and get a separate amp for the SW (if required). You may want to turn up some bass gain (if the function is available in the amp). But practise caution as u don't want to spoil your mid bass.

I'm not too sure whether the power is adequate in your case but many have forgotten the aspects of cabin gain here Time alignment will help in the bass aspect too (but not everyone is in favour of this tuning option). By the way, what HU are u using? If it's me, I will try all options from EQ, time alignment and whatsoever tuning options available before I change anything.

I suppose this amp is still pretty decent. As what durk suggested. Bridge 4ohm run comps 1st, get another amp for sub later on. Bi-wire would give better SQ and power but require extra RCA and speaker cable. In any case, i doubt this amp will run comps AND sub satisfactorily. If you dun mind changing amp, what music do you listen to?
