Probably one of the worst manus around.

Why do you need a 'smaller' system for smaller bars. What does your system consist of now?

It's for a smaller 3rd system for private parties (karaoke & DJ shows) and such. just looking for something cheap but strong enough to drive the speakers. My 2 main systems are booked solid so this is just a bit of gravy.

I would honestly look for a a decent quality powered mixer, maybe used off of ebay or something. Never get a cheap no name or crap name brand just to do a side show. If it's bringing you money, make it worth the while & possible future recommends!

For a smaller system for smaller parties look at the EV SX80 -$199 each- and one sub like the SB122 $385. You'll have a nice sound, very light and transportable system. Total cost for (2) SX80 and (1) SB122 is about $800. OR, (2) EV SX100 for about $429 each. That's what I use and they work GREAT! You can get a decent, but heavy speaker from Yamaha, Samson, Peavey and some others for around $225-$350 each. You might want to look into the Behringer B1520 or the B212 if you're on a budget. The B212 is only $150 each. If you're REALLY on a budget the Behringer S1520 is only $100 each at same day music.

The best deal as far as amps goes is either the Behringer EP2500 or the American Audio VLP1500. I will be getting one or the other, I haven't decided. Both sell for around $329 each and both models give 500watts per channel at 8ohms which is a pretty hefty amount. Add a decent mixer for $150-$300 and you have a very good system.

A decent powered mixer like the Behringer PMP300 or the Yamaha EMX512 can make toting around your system a breeze. Either one, pick it up by the handle and walk away. They do nearly anything you want too. Amp and mixer all in one. Behringer is around $399, Yamaha is about $569 new and that's what I use. So far no problems at all and you can get REAL loud if you want, certainly enough for over 200 people easily.

The junky american Audio and Behringer Amps can not compare to a quality manufacture like QSC.

I suggest their budget line of amplifers the GX-3 or the GX-5. They are very affordable have a 6 year warrenty and don't weigh that killer 40lbs of the cheap amps.

The Behringer is essentially a QSC copy. It is not "junky" -- it serves at a lot of high-end live sound gigs.

I know nothing of the American Audio, but the Behringer amp is a decent unit in use by a lot of pros. Probably not as good as a QSC, to be sure. But it is not junk.

Why not go with a matching Yorkville amp or power board?

I got to hear the new QSC GX series - nice amps, especially for the price. QSC quality on a Behringer budget!
