Guys I need your help. I'm installing a new sound system for a small church in NY. I need a couple of ideas on the speakers that I can use to bolt to the wall. The speakers can't be too bulky because of the amount room that I have to place them. I would use these speakers as mains because the sanctuary is small, but I need something that can carry weight if the need arises. I was thinking of some eaw JFX 100's but that's to expensive for this church. Any suggestions? Here are some pics:

Can you give a more accurate dollar amount of what you can spend?  Also, I could not open the pics, can you tell me how many speakers you were wanting?

I no this is not what you were asking help with but,  is there a reason they have to be on the wall, can they hang from the ceiling or if small enough room what about on stands.  Just curious.

Approx $1000 for a pair.  I thought of a center cluster but that would take time and money and trying to convince them to hang something from the middle of the church. The wall seems like the most inexpensive and efficent way to to go. Sorry about the pic I 'll try again

Take a look at Community's CPL or STS series of speakers they may fit your needs.

Can the cpl 27 give me lows almost comparable to a 10' or even 12'like the ev sx100?

I would highly recommend the JFX 100's!  Crystal clear sound in a very compact package.  More expensive than EV's and other speakers mention so far in this reply but you get what you pay for...they are worth the money.

If the EAW's are truly out of the question, you might want to consider Yorkville C2890's (dual 8"/1") or the Yorkville C2285's (12"/1").  I've use them for perm installs and have never been disappointed.

However, we would need more info to make any further recommendations; such as church size, any acouticals challenges you know of and church layout.

Here is a picture of the Sanctuary which will reflect the size I will sned this in 2 parts.

That looks like a small place. What’s with the fireplace on the house left wall, this looks like a house turned into a church.

What style music does this system need to reproduce? I would look at a pair of EV SX80 order them in white and get a set of Omni or Allen products mounts. Be sure to aim them down into the people. That room looks very reflective. If you need some bottom end (sub) look at the EV SB121 in the SX series of speakers. Get one of them and stick it up with those organ speakers. I assume that is what I am seeing in the picture in the front on house right. Then depending on how the system is setup, if you can I would make sure I don’t feed any vocal mics into the sub. This will minimize any low-end rumble on vocal pulpit and body mics.

Or you could just use a pair of SX300s (in white) I don’t care for the SX100s. But just one in the center would probably be more then enough for this place. I just think the size would be over kill for this place. And a pair of SX80s without a sub would be fine. This place looks very traditional not rocking at all. But looks can be deceiving.
