Need PA Advice...

I would go for two of those boxes,works out to the same money and then you'd need a little 6 or 8 channel mixer with reverb like a yamaha for $80 or something similar.
Those have 12" speakers wich would be much better than the first choice 8" for a vocal PA and you could use them for stage monitors when you play.

Of course, you could forget the mixer and plug one mic in each but that would be less than ideal and no effects.

thanks for the reply man. only problem is its kind of essential that the rest of the band can hear me too....so really I'd need 2 room speakers and then maybe a monitor for myself? do you think the 8" speakers will be too small for the band to hear then?

I just think in that price range and that wattage,the 8"speakers would be prone to feedback issues when trying to achive jamming volume.
We jam here in a 20x24 room and i don't need a personal monitor to hear my vocals.We use 2 powered monitors with 15's but i used to have yorkville monitors with 12's and it worked pretty good.
If you had 2 of those MA 120's and put them up on tables or whatever,the whole band including you would hear the vocals.IMO
