Question about an AMP and Mixer

Hi,
I'm completely clueless when it comes to professional audio setup. I've been tasked to manage a small live show that involves some acoustic performance. So I started calling local audio rental places, then I ran into someone who is selling some church old audio equipment.

It includes a Mackie FR1400 AMP, and a Yamaha Mixing Console MG 10/2.

Care for a Power Amp / Installing / Mounting it

Hello, I want to know what I can do to install a power amp or modify it so that it's portable for transport. I'd also like to know how to handle a power amp with care.

Best Mic Preamp/Guitar Amp Levels?

Forums

Hi, just wondering what difference it makes where and when levels are turned up and down int he recording chain. Is it best to turn a guitar amp up a ton, and then turn the track down in my DAW, or to have the amp lower, and turn the volume up more in the DAW. And for Micing vocals, is it best to turn the microphone preamp way up, and then the track level down in the DAW, or vice versa?
