I see your running metal bands>?
Stage volume is a huge problem and especially in a reflective high reverb time room
You could do a few things
Hang black stage curtain across the entire stage area wall/s
Get a plastic drum shield to go around the drums
Check your gainsets....
If your levels from the mix to outboard gear to the amps are not right
your swimming against the current
Are you running your xover high enough output wise or at unity?
Have you run pink noise and set the system flat or are you doing it by ear?
If your doing it by ear get something to run pink noise with a measurement microphone and get it right
Those EV cabs should give you plenty of output in a club
I totally disagree with the post on running mono
I have had way better results running stereo on systems
Also, running in stereo you have a seperate EQ for each side which
is far better then having one EQ for a system spread apart like that
in a room
If you have set this system by ear then im gonna say there is an issue
You have got to set it with pink noise and get it closer to a flat
response
You can set your xover and everything with pink noise
If you dont have this kind of gear then go rent it and get it right
