The Yamaha speakers specs are: S215V 15" (2) 2" titanium 42Hz- 16kHz 500 watts Rms Prower handling/1000 watts Noise 1 program/2000 watts Peak 99dB 132dB 20x46x24
You can use any Amp that pushes any where from 500 watts RMs-800 watts RMs (In 4 Ohms)
You can use a QSC Plx 2402, Crown CE 2000, QSC RMX 2450, Crown XLS 802, Crwon XTI 2000,Qsc Plx 1104, Peavey Pv 2600
All amplifiers are likes this.. They have 8 Ohms, 4 Ohms & 2 Ohms. When you are looking to buy your amp. You are looking for the specs of the amplifier. The amp will tell you the RMS in 8 Omhs first and then 4 Ohms. If any of the amps you are interested in match the ( Ohms Impedance )
The " Yamaha S215v are 4 Ohms " You are matching the watts of the amp to the watts of the speakers. More watts above the RMS handling is ok.. But not too much. An Example.. If your speakers push 400 watts Rms in 8ohms.. You can use anything from 350 watts Rms- 500 watts rms. The speakeres have a peak power but you are not looking to match it in peak. The peak is a maixmum BOOM (maximum Burst ) the loudest part of a song..

Carvin has great deals on speakers that are basically 1/2 price of their competitors. I have two LM15A speakers they're incredibly loud and sound amazing. I tested them next to my friends JBL Eons not too long ago both of us liked the Carvins more.

He wants boom boom Bass for playing hip Hop & R&B .. Not thump.... The speakers from the link below pushes more than the yamaha tower speakers & Thery are 50 dollars cheaper for each one. http://www.carvinguitars.com/products/single.php?product=LS1523
Carvins make very good speakers. I have 2 PM 15's by carvin and they sound better than JBL eons. The single 18 inch Carvin bass bottoms are good but ( They were stupid to make them in 8 Ohms) To buy an amp that pushes 800 watts rms or more in 8 Ohms will cost alot of money.. Like over a 1000.. If it was in 4 Ohms, you would have to spend less money like 600 bucks
