You will probably find more help on the pro-audio subreddits but I'll give my 2 cents. I'll let you know right away I don't have a ton of experience with pro-audio equipment.
First off, I think $4000 will actually get you pretty darn far. You're going to have to make a decision on if you're going to use powered speakers or use pro-amps. Either way is perfectly valid. If using pro-amps I suggest you pick up a really beefy Crown amp.
For the speakers themselves you can pick up a pair of Behringer Eurolive B215D. Those are powered but there are passive Eurolive speakers also available. A pair of those will get very very loud very affordably and competently, just remember speakers like these typically do not have a strong bass response.
If you're not a Behringer fan then from what I hear the JBL Eon Series is great. Heck I'd go for these as long as you can afford them. Pick up a pair for $850. Pair them with a pair of JBL EON618S. Two monster 18" ported subs like that will get VERY loud when they are only tuned to go down to about 40hz.
Overall, if you can afford it (it seems to me you can) then go for the JBL Eon series. If you want to save money, then go Behringer, but no need to step down to Rockville or Pyle.
Two EON615 speakers and 2 EON618S subs should run you about $2400. That leaves tons of padding for speaker stands, XLR cables, and whatever mixers and consoles you may need. Also, you may save money buy buying packages with, for example, stands and XLR cables included.
