I recently purchased some Pyle 15-inch 1400 watt speakers for my Concept CC-2002 2 channel (1200 watts x 1 amplifier). I only had them for 1 week and quickly blew them. The guy who installed them told me the amp was too powerful for the speakers because he could barely turn it up. Any advice on how powerful the speakers should be to fit with this amplifier without any problem. Thanx in advance.

The guy should not have installed them if he thought they were a mismatch for the amp! You're out a lot of bucks losing those PILES lol. Do yourself a favor and don't throw any more money away on no-name subs. Look through this forum for plenty of recommended brand name subs. Find some that you can locate at nearby dealers, and have a listen to some setups. You will want to connect subwoofers to an amplifier that does not put out more RMS power than the subs are rated for. Use RMS watts only, not peak or max., when talking about either speakers or amplifiers.

I can't find any information on that amplifier model. I did find on the Cadence web site a model CC-2502 which is rated at 250 watts X2 @ 4ohms, so I assume your amp is rated at 200 watts X2 @ 4 ohms. Start there. PYLE car audio is crap. Their PRO line is pretty good, made by Eminence, but stay away from theri car stuff.
