So, I'm assuming that the mixer wasn't giving the speakers enough power. Which means, I should look for one that puts out 300W or possibly 600W per channel at 4 ohms.
Am I correct in this assumption?

Look at the "8 ohm" ratings on the amp. Your speakers are 8 ohms. I would try to find an amp that puts out about 250-280 watts per channel for those speakers. Seeing that the 12" model is right around the same area. The 250 watts is most likely where you will want to be.
Yes when the little red light starts blinking this is the indicator for clipping - and most likely it was probably on the bass drum hits.
