Yorkville AP800 amp (1x).............................. no need, the speakers are active....0
Shure SLX4 wireless handheld mics (2x).......... get the same mics and mic cables....$1.200

Denon DN-S1200 CD player (1x)....................if you like it, get the same one again...$450
Associated cords/cables..............................Since you will change from passive to active speakers use the same cables that go from your soundcraft mixer to your Yorkville amp (assuming they are XLRs) from your mixer to the speakers.......................$300

Total: $3.850 approximate

If you change your wireless mics for wired mics you will be within budget

Right at or under isn't necessary--just makes it easier to sell to my boss :P

James Babcock:
Something that may be considered is budgeting this year for some of the major portions of this rig and renting the rest until next year. The money you don't spend on rentals could be put away and put towards the rest of the system.

For an application like this, i would recommend downgrading from the SLX series of wireless micas to the PGX series.  They are about half the cost and should be more than adequate for what you are wanting to do.  I think you can usually get them for around $300 each.

Oh, God no. The PGX is never right for anything.

If all you can afford is the PGX, use a wired mic.
