we only have room for one mic and I play thru two amps side by side.

You need amp mics to be very close to the speaker to get punch and eliminate noise. If you don't have stereo effects, then you should only mic one speaker of one amp. The mic should be facing directly into the speaker, outer edge for lows, center for mids, or a balance of the two.
If you're running stereo, you're gonna have to have 2 mics.
If you have a place for it, try running your second amp direct, just for effects. Your main sound and power will still be carried by the mic on amp 1.
If you run amp 2 direct, take out a lot of the highs until it sounds right in the PA.

As long as the amps are facing forward and not towards the mic, it shouldn't be an issue. It also depends on what kind of mic it is. Supercardioid and hypercardioid microphones are optimized to prevent picking up sound from the back so they don't feedback as easily. To be on the safe side, try moving the amps up a little bit and use the mic behind them, and maybe even face the amps away from the mic just a little bit. Hope it works for you!

I've tried doing that and the mic would have static sounds whenever I held it up. I'm not sure what the problem was, but it sure didn't work for me.
