I'm looking for some advice on PA systems

[StoneTemplePilot]

I need a PA system for practicing with my band. I've been looking at the Kustom Profile 2 PA system, but am not sure what to get. Im looking to spend around $600, yet have a really freakin loud PA system. Have any advice?

I wouldn't recommend Kustom. You should look into Carvin. You can get a fairly decent deal since they sell Direct.

you should get one of those pa sets, that come with a powered mixer, and 2 about 100 watt speakers. should be loud enough for practice and small shows.
