Small PA recommendations

[Elektrik Hendrik]

Hi,

I need a very small PA just to amplify vocals and guitar (electric and
acoustic) in a Tuck and Patti-like setting.

It needs to be very small (has to fit in a normal car), has to have decent
fx and just loud enough for small venues.

What are my best bets?
I've been looking to the Phonic Powerpod series, like the 740DLX (2x220W),
the Behringer PMH 1000 (2x300W)
Or should I think bigger than that?

For speakers I'm thinking of a small subwoofer system.
Anyone got any recommendations for that?

TIA

alt.audio.pro.live-sound

That group was split out of rec.audio.pro so that both groups could keep
their focus.

HK Audio Lucas XT system sounds nice and very portable.

The Behringer 15's on a stick work just fine for what yer doing. We
gig em out over 60 dates a year. We have a PMH3000 we power em
with. Good luck!

Take a look at the Mackie powered mixers, and maybe combine them with
the smaller JBL Eon (non-powered) speakers.

avoid that.

I'll check out all the options mentioned so far.

The Phonic stuff seems to have a problem with flat frequency response.

Berhinger, Alesis, Peavey, or Crest all offer plenty of power with flat
response and the ability to drive nearly any load for very reasonable
prices.

Biggest bang for the buck is probably the Behringer Europower 2500
which can deleiver 450 wpc @ 8 ohms and sells for under 300 bucks.
