Live performance question

[Elimence]

So I'm going to do a random beat set at a skatepark. My question is what kind of speakers do you guys use for outside performances? Should I get an Amp or should I use my studio monitors?

I would rent/buy an outdoor PA speaker or something along those lines, as they're built pretty rugged to withstand the elements and often have metal grills to shield the speaker cones.

Also you don't really wanna be turning your monitors up too loud, which you may have to do in an outdoor environment with people talking/skateboards clattering etc.
