If you don't mind the weight, then the behringer ep2500 (also it seems the the new version [ep4000] seems to work just aswell). Also, the crown xls 802 sometimes can be had for a low price. But if I were you, I would check out some of the peavey ipr, or some of the new xls's since they start out pretty cheap. Now, if you still to go cheaper than all that, the only other option would be used gear, and for that, it's up to you to look around.

Do you want DSP or do you have and external crossover?

[pyroibw]

i'll be running a external crossover

grab anything that will throw 800-1000 at 4 ohms. Maybe more if you want headroom, but you will be limiting them down a bit with your external xover/processor
