The whole idea of having more power is achieving those lower
octaves with the least amount of distortion. Now, since you
are using a horn like the Lab Horn,you will achieve those low
notes. However, those lower octaves require alot of power.

You said 60 - 80 dB at 3 - 5 meters away. Well, you should
still feeding it (The horn) around 800 watts or more each
speaker to achieve a better sound with less distortion.

The good news is that there are TONS of commercial amps on
ebay floating around in which will do the job, without
breaking the bank.

Remember, you are better of with a Pro amp, than a Audiophile
amp, for you want brute strength and, current, and not something
that's going to give you transparent highs.

I use an old Crest 5000 I picked up on Ebay, early this year
that puts out 2000 watts in which I use the power 4 Double Fifteens.

And, looking at the meters, its the 30's, and, 20's which pulls
the most power, not, 100 - 40Hz.

Hope This Was Helpful.
