I have the Concept CC-2002 amp (200 watts X2 @ 4 ohms) and i was wandering which 15" speakers would be the best fit for this amp? The Power Acoustik MOFO-15 at 2400 watts, 1500 Rms watts, or the Audiobahn AW1506T Flame Q Sub at 1300 watts Rms. It would really help me alot. Thank you in advance.

that audiobahn gear isn't a wise investment, nor are those mofo's. I would suggest you do a search on audibahn and reconisder them.
there are so many companies that will offer better performance for the money. the ratings these comapnies use are often times over rated to say the least, 1500rms? and that price tag, maybe to good to be true?
what are you willing to spend?

mtx, fosgate, alpine, memphis, kikcer,pioneer. These brands are all pretty respectable and rate their gear accordingly.
What are you looking for as far as sound? real loud I assume with 15"s?

Then get you some Alpine, Kicker, JL, MTX... They're are many brands in that price range that have 10 times better products than audiobahn. ------------- Nik

I want my subs to bump without giving any problem to the amp or the subs. I had seen some good reviews of the audiobahn and power acoustik subs, but i guess they weren't legit.

The enclosure you put these subs in is going to make the biggest difference, especially in this price range. sealed offers great sound quality and ported style boxes will give you a little more volume generally.avoid bandpass boxes.

Actually i read the reviews on cardomain.com on both. I have a sealed box already so what would you prefer.

sealed is fine, woofers that large wil make up for it. Sealed boxes have some advantages like better power handling and are less likely to blow a woofer if the signal is clipped, and better sq.

If my choice was between Audiobahn and Power Acoustik I'd spend my money on beer. Or maybe wine. ------------- Support the12volt.com

Good choice DYohn. I have seen several people with both brands and they eventually gave up on them. The PA's will get loud, but they sound like crap. The Audiobahn's will blow smoke if you need a bug spray.

Both will make one hell of a fridge magnet a few months down the road.

Go with some Alpine, memphis or kicker subs. If you dont mind buying from a smaller company check out the Ascendant Audio Atlas, it fits right into your price range and will work pretty good with that amp.
