So I'm shopping for new speakers. I can't seem to make up my mind, so help me please!

I'm replacing the speakers in my newly acquired 69 K200-B1 w/ 2x15" CTS

I gig'ed it for he first time last weekend and it wasn't good! I couldn't hear myself and I was standing in front of the cab, and all I could do is just feel the vibs. My Volume was at 10-11 a'clock and my bass and treble at 12. The old CTS's were very gassy (they made alot of farty sounds). Because the cab was, mic'ed I had to keep the volume down for the house mix to sound clean.

Anyways this is what I'm looking at (by the way I play bass)

Weber Ceramic Michigan 15' w/ bass cone and aluminum cap https://taweber.powweb.com/weber/michigan15f.htm

Eminence Alpha 15A

EV Force 15

What do you think?

First of all you need to hook up a ohm meter to the end of a speaker cable and find out what impeadance the cabinet is.
That amp will output darn close to 100 watt rms into a 4 ohm load, or about 65 into a 8 ohm load, so for bass you will want to run it with a 4 ohm load, so something is up as even if you where at 8 ohms you should have beed able to keep up with the other band members.

You can not use the EV driver as it need more internal cab volume than what that 2-15 cabinet has, and the Eminence driver has too small a magnet.
I would go for the Eminence Delta 15LF, or from the parts express catalog, the model 264-338 Selenium model 15 which is a great driver and near half the price.

Thanks Stevem!

I think I'm going to buy the Selenium. It almost seems to be the same as the Delta! Only cheaper!
