I am not recommending the cheapest ones. I am recommending reliable ones at a decent price by manufacturers that I have come to trust over the years. Don’t expect top-notch professional sound like you would find at a mega-church. You will get good sound at a decent price out of these systems.

The Fender Passport is a small all in one PA system. It has five channels which are good for a couple of vocals, a guitar and a keyboard. That is not a lot, but when you are first starting out, that is all you need. It comes with the speakers, mixer, speaker stands and a couple of cables.
Fender is a great brand name with a good reputation. There will come a time, Lord willing, that you will grow out of this system but if you have to start with a small budget, you should be well served by this portable sound system.
