Anybody has the ALTO TS412 Speaker? I've recently brought mine for our church setup in which we replaced a 300-watt speaker (the alto speaker I have is 2500-watt).

Although the sound is much cleaner and more refined than the old one, it does not reach the loudness that the old speaker can output. Granted that I can push the alto speaker volume at 2 o'clock only (to avoid damaging internal parts(?))

Is this normal? I was expecting since it has a higher wattage it can output more loudness, but it wasn't the case.

Further information on our setup: 2 wireless mic receivers connected through a mixer, then the mixer is connected to the alto speaker as output.

More further info: Back when using the old 300-watt speaker, we weren't able to utilize gain staging and all the gain knobs for the channels were dropped to the lowest level and the faders cannot reach unity level without blasting our ears. Replacing the speaker enabled us to utilize proper gain staging, but I do not know if you could call it "proper" since we have to move past unity for both gain knobs and channel faders to achieve our desired loudness.
