I'm no tech on airspace of cabinets, but my take on the Crossroads, it's a 100 watts RMS. Your 150 SC is 75 watts RMS. For money spent, you would be further ahead to buy a EV, JBL, Altec speaker if your amp has the stock speaker in it. A preimium speaker can boost your gain by +3Db. In effect giving the amp twice the wattage. If a 100 watt amp will produce 90Db's. To get a 3 Db increase you would have to use a 200 watt amp. So given the fact that the Crossroad amp is 100 watt and if the cabinet were designed with a larger air space, I don't think you would hear any difference in volume between your amp and the Crossroad. The Crossroad may have a newer EQ section than yours, but given the info that you want more volume for larger rooms, I'd change speakers. Another thing you might try is, in large rooms or outdoor events, roll off a little low end. This will let the amp kick better since it's not trying to produce the very lows and the amp will not go into clipping or distortion. There should be a line or tape out on the back panel, try feeding the signal to the PA or place a mic in front of it and let the PA fill the room. You can keep the stage volume down, get the sound you want and every one is happy. Rule of thumb, if you want to double the volume you need 10 times the wattage to get it.
