Don't know if you have monitors for the singers to hear themselves, but generally you should place the PA speakers on the far left and far right of your band setup, then a guitar amp on each side, then the bass and drums (a.k.a. the rhythym section) together in the middle. Try to set up the musicians as tight as possible and if you have no monitors, place the PA speakers further back so that the singers have a shot at hearing themselves. Try and set the PA up first and get a good sound with that, then blend the music in for your overall sound.

This is how my band sets up.


PA----------------Drums--(monitor)-------------PA
-------Guitar 1-------Bass---------Guitar 2------
---------------Singer-------Singer---------------
-------------------------------------------------
-------------Monitor-----------Monitor-----------

Lucky us, we have two chick singers in addition to the four musicians. The drummer sings a lot so he gets his own monitor. Hope this helps and good luck.
