yes a power spkr with intergrated mixer, such as the Behringer geurilla 600 watt spkr. not th ebest option but nevertheless it works!!

 

 

using guitar amps are generally not the best for vocals becuase of the design of the amp and how the signal path is treated.. the signal is usually driven a certain way "distortion", and is equilizd sumtimes through the circuitry for that of guitar before u even use the EQ bandwith on the amp itself... even though vocals and guitar share same frequencies. its more ideal to use a PA system, Peavy, Behringer, make sum low cost stereo PA system for around 3-600$

Ditto to the suggestion of running both vocals and guitar through powered speaker. If you were playing electric I'd not do it, but your acoustic is more "full range" than an electric and will benefit from the frequency response of a full range cabinet. Depending on budget and size/weight requirements there are many to choose from. Peavey, Yorkville, FBT, QSC, EV, RCF, JBL all have them. I own 4 of the Yorkville NX550P's (now NX55P). They have a better mixer section than most. At around $700 they are more expensive than the Peavey's, but less than all the others mentioned above. A good balance of function and performance.

for home practice/small gigs which jbl do you recommend I can probably only afford one speaker at this time

 

I just used a pair of JBL Eon 10s in a medium sized church with about 400 hundred people and they seemed more than loud enough for the music with still quite a bit more room to move. This isn't rock music, but it isn't soft either. I'd say a single Eon 10 would be perfect for you if you are set on one of the JBLs.
