PA Speakers for Parties


Hello,
I am brand new to this whole scene. I am in a fraternity and got elected to run certain aspects of our parties. What we need are PA speakers (our old ones broke) They need to be self powered, I am not really sure what exactly a decent setup would be but parties are generally in a huge room with close to 100+ people. We had two older speakers that managed for a few years before biting the bullet. Anyone have any leads they can give me or tips, brand new to this whole thing.

I agree that $300 will just not do...no no no...but a grand might get you close. I am a veteran live sound pro...I am...so sue me! Now that that's out of the way I can easily suggest a pair of used Mackie SRM450s and any cheap used mixer (Behringer maybe). Pair 'em with an inexpensive used big powered (15" to 18") sub from, again, anybody, and it will take the heavy bass lifting off of the main speakers and allow your dubstep binge drinking party to get the cops called every time! Use the failed careers of musician wannabes as your key to this thing...bands sell good stuff cheap all the time.
