Hi i m looking for advice on speakers for our church it holds around 200 people,
the main area of worship is a funny shape made of two seperate shapes one the high roof and the other with a low roof. in the past we have had two main speakers and the additional small speaker for lower space.
my thoughts are to have a two speakers suspended from the roof in the main area and power monitor for the smaller space with a 1 or 2 subwoofers.
we also need monitors for the band we had been using two laney 100watt wedge monitors which have worked well ufortunalty one was stolen so we need to replace it, we are short of room on the stage so are looking for some smaller alternitives. we have a yamaha amp for the mains and smaller amp for the monitors. now the crunch we have a limited budget of aroung £3000.
hope you can help.

also do you know of anyone how does p.a. traning days.

Not an expert (not nearly by a long way

) but this BBC link might help you. Here is another perhaps more relevant link that focuses on Churches.

This link might help with Training days as well.

HTH.

Calvin - it would be very useful if you could possibly post a few pics of your church - that will make it a lot easier to advise you.
With a capacity of 200, you may well get away without subs, and instead use good full range cabs.
Tell us more about those amps you have available.
Depending a lot on theroof shape, you may well be able to get away with a single pair to do everything, in which case main PA plus new monitors should be no problem at £3000.
Describe the sort of music you are amplifying - what's the makeup of the band etc.
