right, so my band need something to run a microphone through. We have less than £100 though.

I thought about buying a small guitar amp (10"- or 12" speaker) to use but the people in the guitar forum say it breaks it, and the people on the bass forum say it would break it if i used a bass amp.

So my other idea was to get a really small power amp (like 40 watts or something) and buy a 10" speaker to go with it. But theres one problem, the least power, power amp i have found is about 150 watts.

My third idea (which i dont think works) would be to set it up something like this:

microphone > DI box > 1-2 channel tiny mixer > 10" speaker

would that work?

Thanks very much if i get a reply

Any ideas?
