Great, Cheap PA systems?

Im trying to save up for a pa system but im not sure where to look. if you could please let me know what you use, the average price, and how you like it. i would be so grateful!

Welcome to the forum!

So, what kind of budget are you looking at? Because you can get a 2.2 system for no more than 500$, but you can also get one for 10.000$. The quality of the sound depends on the budget you’re willing to pay.
What are you using it for?
Give us some info :slight_smile:

The B52 Matrix 1000v2 system is about $1k out the door, with stands and longer cables. This will handle events to about 150 people.

The RCF 312A are reasonable tops. Add in a Yorkville 701p. With cables, stands, etc…this is about $2k out the door. This will handle events to 200 people.

These recommendations have proven to be reliable, and good value for money across a wide range of applications. These are both “entry level” systems. There is not a lot to recommend that is significantly cheaper/smaller than these. There are other reasonable systems in those price points, but there is also a LOT of junk. When you budget hits about $5k, there are a LOT of options that are good value for money.

well im not sure what my budget would be, im just looking for a pa system that is portable enough to fit in my small 06 2 door cobalt trunk, im hoping i can find something cheap and can last a beginner level performer a good amount of gigs, ive done birthday parties of around 40 people for some friends with my guitar amp and a numark mixtrack. but im wanting to get better sound and im wanting to find better gigs. ill be a junior in high school and im working a small job so i cant buy anything huge yet im currently saving up for a kontrol s4 because i sold my mixtrack for a launchpad. might be too much info but oh well. im just looking to get good equipment that i wont need to “upgrade” for a long time. thank you for your help!

+1 on RCF 312a’s and a sub.
