To be honest, no internal speakers provide me with the depth and clarity of a decent set of nearfield monitors, yet alone a real PA, and I'm sitting in front of the damn thing! How is my audience supposed to get up and move on a sound system that barely tops 30 watts, and is run through three inch speakers (and only two of them!).
Jeez, my boom box gets louder and cleaner than any internal speakers I've ever heard! 
I weened myself off Onboard speakers also.....no problem without them, in fact I like it better on stage for me.
