Those look rather nice. I like the description in the link

I really need to re-do all of mine since it's never sounded quite right.

Although... now I'm wondering if I should check the polarity of the speaker wiring. I think I just assumed a wiring convention that may not be correct, which won't be helping.

I still have the Bose speakers in the doors wired in to my PG Route66, and a couple of Infinity Kappa subs in the boot. When I wired the amp I assumed the door speakers were colour stripe + and brown stripe -.

With regard to Genesis amps, Gordon is the person to go to. He runs ampdoctor dot co dot uk and he's fixed a few of my beefy JL Audio amps in the past. I gather he had a lot to do with Genesis in the past. Just mentioning it in case of problems with the amp.

Cheers.

That's handy to know ^ My Route 66 needs some TLC I think.

Interesting unit. Is yours all glass on the front? The one in the link looks like it has a separate bezel round the screen.

Just wondering if the screen could be fitted in to a custom housing the same shape as the hole in the dash...

possibly, its not far off fitting as it is, needs a few mm off the top and bottom of
the frame

I did contemplate sanding it but didn't feel brave enough to risk the screen if it didn't work. visible screen doesn't of all the way to the edges but it looks like one single panel
