It's usually not the speakers fault. - You really need to calculate how loud you want the sound level to be at the distance they are really using it and pick the speaker that is efficient enough, or has
enough power handeling to deliver that kind of
level that distance.

Now, if your speakers cannot handle the amount of
power need to reach that level based upon your
specifications, then it's time to look for a new
speaker. This is probably your entire problem in a nutshell.
CMO: Looks like it IS rocket science! Quick; post an existing equipment list that includes every piece that contributes to the signal chain that leads to the outdoor speakers. Source (reciever?), pre-amp, amp, zone controller?, remote volume controls?, cabling including approximate length of the runs before and after keypads/volume pots, guage of the cable, model of/specs of/number of speakers, so we can stop the prognostication.
OR: Charter us a plane to the UK (
