If my memory serves me (and at times is doesn't...) the 604's are
fairly low power speakers.  To get the spl up on the speakers in
control room monitor situations an additional 15" speaker was added.
I believe that the cabinet also needs to be pretty good sized to
support the speaker correctly.

You might consider selling the 604's and buying Radian's.  They have
the power handling that stage monitor applications _usuallu_ require.
