Samson and Nady will disappoint you. Think about this. If you can buy them for $99, and the dealer is making 10%, and the distributor is making 10%, and the factory is making 10%, you really aren't buying much in electronics are you? If you are going to be looking at those systems, you will have audio quality issues, have poor off-axis rejection, which means tone and feedback issues. All of this is moot considering your VHF stuff will not work properly or legally after Feb 2009.If you do a floor wedge in front of the performers, that will work out better than a flown monitor. Your ceiling is too low. You will be blowing right into the microphones. Not to mention the fact that in church, things change. Your singers could increase. You could have a band or acoustic piano. They might want to change the set and play center or stage left. So you need to think about this before you put them in a performance box.
Any monitor behind the performers is a bad idea. Get that Radio Shack thing in front of them, blowing into the dead side of the mics (assuming that they are cardiod), and you will improve your sound.

No, the flown monitors will not be for the musicians, just the
audience, and will be aimed away from the mics, towards the
audience. I have a hard time explaining this without a drawing.
I guess the next level up on the wireless, is the AT brand.
Sweetwater say's that the VHF band will be more immune to
interference than UHF in the future. I don't care about the licence
crap, that's their problem.
Well, you better care about the license. You are breaking the law. Will the driver's of your church van or bus drive without a license? How good is that for a church? You can't preach what God says, to "obey the laws of the land", live a subject, obedient life, and the give the government the finger.
Now I understand. You are making some mains for FOH (Front of House). Those are not monitors. Monitors are support for the stage. This is why mixing consoles are labeled "mains" and "mons". You may not have a mixing console though.
A good book for you to check out since you are obviously new and have no substantial budget is the Yamaha Sound Reinforcement Handbook. There is one for worship situations too. They have a DVD which is great for training people with no experience at all. I used to give that to people wanting to help with sound at church. It was a great prequalifier. People would gove it back and say that they had no idea that we actually had to know something about it, or they were hungry for more.
Good tip, thanks. Funny how the CB band is untouchable, with all the
hi power being used, yet they want to licence milliwatt powered
transceivers. What next?....baby monitors?. RF remote controls?.
I know, I've mixed up some terms here, thus confusing. I have no
plans now to install stage monitors, just the FOH flown units (2).
Thanks again..
