Questions About Wiring

Yes, you can run speakers directly from the S4 using either RCA or TRS outputs from the S4. I'm pretty sure you can also input a mic into an S4, although I've never done it. You'll need TRS cables from the S4 to the PAs, or TRS -> SLR cables from S4 to PAs.

I live in a world without light, so can't tell you anything about lighting.

I'm with this guy, just run the speakers into the S4 and you'll be fine. TRS into the back of the S4 and either TRS or XLR into the speaker

Incase you have someone else djing not using the s4.

Its just the proper way of setting up. giving you a bunch of inputs to plug into.

Lighting is interesting to work with. You will need a lot of extension cord, make sure you get sound active lights instead of dmx only. Cause you wont want to have to program or have someone control lighting while you dj.

2 tops and 2 subs would be decent for your first gig.

Could someone recommend some decent lights and speakers?

yep. he said he is not the only one playing, so unless his friend is planning on using the same gear, this should be taken into consideration
