Design Within Reach: Geneva Sound System

Fill your room with music, not equipment. Presenting quality sound from a piano-lacquered wooden box with CD player, FM radio and iPod dock – all controlled by remote. With two channels and patented algorithms, the Geneva Sound System digitally adapts the left and right signals for a balanced 120-degree sound stage. A 100-watt high fidelity digital amplifier powers the system’s built-in stereo tweeters, woofers and 8-inch subwoofers, which together deliver the sound performance found in larger systems. Everything you play will be enjoyed with a full range of frequencies – from deep, rich bass to crystal clear highs, without dropping a single note in between. An LED display on the front of the cabinet displays what’s playing. The iPod dock connectors include iPod Video, Nano, Photo and Mini. Rubber feet help protect the adjacent surface; a floor stand is available, sold separately.

Piano-lacquered wood; electronics.

A DEI Directed 1100 should do the trick, if you are using 3 12s you are looking to be loud so this will do it.
Go to your local audio store and ask for a 1 Ohm stable amplifier, then connect the subs in series. this will give you the loudest results.
