Default 8 ohm version drastically louder than 4 Ohm version of same loudspeaker model

I'd just replace the bulb with a soldered in polyswitch,



** Bad idea.

Incandescent bulbs provide a better solution for live sound apps.

They allow all transients and normal levels through and rapidly compresses
( without distortion ) exceptional levels - like feedback howls - to a
tolerable level for the HF drivers.

OTOH, a Polyswitch cuts the sound almost right off ( without any warning)
and takes quite a while to re-set after tripping.
