And if you want a real eduction in speakers, take whatever you have
designed out in the field and start it playing. Then walk out in the
bush and see just how far it actually reaches. It takes a lot of power
to make distance.
The Eagle Creek ones do look nice. If anyone tries them let us know how
they do.
