Watts = Amps x Volts. Amps = Watts/Volts. 10000/120 = 83.3 amps can be used at 120 volts. On a generator that large it is most likely that it also has the capacity to produce 240 volts. 10000/240 = 41.6 amps can be used at 240 volts. What you can connect to the generator will be totals of the amperage of devices that do not go above these amp ratings.

What size generator would you need to run a 300 watt pa sound system for a few hours?

A 300 watt audio system means it has a peak power of 300 watts but the average power might be only a fraction of that, perhaps 5-10 watts. So it might run off a car battery, with an inverter to supply the correct voltage if needed. <<>> A 300 watt public address sound system will operate very nicely from as small as a 500 watt AC generator. A 1000 watt generator will give you more capacity if there are other devices that need powering.
