Need Help with PA

Hi can anyone recommend a good power amp for this setup. We have a Phonic 12 channel mixer 2 2X12 Carlsbro PA speakers 150w each. A 300w 15 inch powered wedge monitor (Laney) mono. And a Celestion 12 inch wedge monitor. We plan to use a laptop for certain backing tracks. Which need to be stereo for the front of house and mono for the band. We have a backline of Bass and guitar amp 100w and 40w. We will also be using Keys which will be used thru the PA. We will be playing small to medium sized venues. Any advice on this would be welcome

Normally you'd want the mixer's main outputs to go to the PA and Aux outs to go to monitors - but I suspect that your Phonic mixer has only one aux out? This could compromise the monitoring situation a little bit, which means that both the monitors would have the same mix - but if you are ok with that, you could use the aux out for one monitor, and the ctrl room out (with aux assigned to it) on the other monitor. If you have two aux outs you would be a bit better off, feeding one monitor with each.

Can you provide a model number and/or soec sheet for the Phonic mixer? Would give us a better idea what we have to work with...
