  1. Tried to look up the price, couldn't find out. May just make one, you got me thinking !
  2. Hey thanks, I have seen that site before but forgot about it, Next time were in our Irrigation supplier (gonna get me one of them suckers), they are on the list of distributors. Can't belive (gonna) passed the spell checker ?

    Deja Vu

    To me it was one of them movies that makes you think, how do they think up this stuff ? I may be easily entertained but I really liked this movie. [A]
  4. Never thought of it that way, I have some Forte elevens, and some Cornwall one hundred and elevens ! [Y]
  5. The Quintet lll...... frequency response Satellite: 110Hz-23kHz +/- 3dB Center: 120Hz-23kHz +/- 3dB Crossover should be around 120-130. If you set it at 80 nothing will be heard between 80 and 120 Hz.
  6. Never tried a smaller pipe ? Smaller may bend to much, the 1" is fairly ridged in a 5 or 6 foot piece when driving it through the dirt, don't drive it to hard because it gets hard to pull back out to clean the pipe out. Really you are just filling the pipe then emptying it, it's not pushing the dirt to the sides or out the other end . If it gets stuck try rotating the pipe while pulling it out. We have really hard clay here and it still works, it just takes a little time and more trouble cleaning out the pipe. After a few mild hits and pulling the pipe back out you will get the hang of it real fast. If you have really sandy soil you may just be able to go straight through then wash out the pipe with a hose. Good luck
  7. Almost forgot, I LOVE the rocks, and the way you did that walk ! We don't have rocks down here they have to be trucked here from Tennessee or North Carolina and are not cheap. The job we are doing now has flagstone walkways and patio yet to be installed. Guessing, about 10,000 lbs of flagstone. The tractor will carry most of it but I will have to load and unload it into place, the worst part of this job, but it will look very nice when we get done. And the customer will be happy, Irrigation system, plenty of garden beds and new walks and patio, for the back yard. We did the front yard last year, and they called us back to do the back yard this year, Love happy customers. [Y] We have already graded the back yard and put in the irrigation system , 10 zones in the back yard, 6 in the front, and built half of the beds so far. We love our jobs, but not the heat !
  8. Never tried the led lights, but the Malibu lights are OK, they are much brighter than the solar ones. The commercial ones are very good but Very expensive. I would go with something like the Malibu, just look at the transformer that comes with them. With the average set it is 88 watts, and each bulb is 4 watts, so you can buy a couple of the individual lights that have a different style for like where the walk starts and ends or something you want to accent like that landing halfway up your walk. As long as the total watts don't exceed the transformer your OK, We have used them before, not on jobs but in our own yard in the past, they seem to last a long time considering the price, buy a couple of extra bulbs when you buy them so when goes out you have a spare. As for as a pipe under a walk we dig a hole on each side, not deep but long, a few feet on each side, longer on the side you start from, and about a foot wide. I then use a piece of 1" schedule 40 PVC a few feet longer than the walk and put it in the side that is only about a foot wide and try to hold it level while I hit it with a maul to drive it in. As it goes in it will seem to stop at times, pull the PVC out and hit it on the ground or if it's sandy I just swing it sideways and sometimes the dirt will just fly out of the pipe (with any luck). Just continue until you exit on the other side then pull out the pipe and empty it or replace it with a new pipe. It is easy sometimes , with luck you will not point it up and hit the walk or miss the hole on the other side ! The problem with using water is you can wash out too much soil in some cases, Bad deal when that happens. If you can keep the pipe pointing level and straight with the hole on the other side it is not that bad, most of the time it takes more time to dig the holes on each side than it does to get the pipe through. Good luck
  9. Both of yall can't make it, that's not good news. []
  10. Michael that is a Formosa Azalea they come on pink, white, red, and purple. If left to get out of control they would get 10' to 12' tall., the way his wife trims them is what you need to do to keep them in shape or they get much bigger and not as full.
  11. You can't beat an azaleas, and that's a nice Dogwood also. [Y]
  12. Roc, the word is Arky is not a cheap date, he likes Lot's of expensive presents !
  13. Can't just leave it at that, the Forte ll should have been one of the models to bring back from the dead. Forte lll { easy for me to say }. Just DON"T change the mid range driver, actually the only change that may improve the sound would be to make it a front ported speaker like the Cornwall instead of a PR. But I'm not a speaker builder so maby the cabinet was not be big enough for that or it may not be an improvement ? I just got very lucky to get some Forte ll's, I was looking for Heresy's when a pair of F ll's came up local ! I wouldn't trade them for Hersy's { excluding H lll's } !
  14. You mean that it takes more than one person trading their wife and dog for Forte speakers to convince you? dtel, add your two cents please. I get myself in enough trouble with one wife, although I cause most of it, I know for a fact. dtel.......................ever the diplomat. I meant add your two cents about how good fortes & forte IIs are, not the other thing. Oh .... Well let me just say, Side by side with ths Cornwall lll, considering the difference in price the Forte ll does VERY well [Y]
  15. Jackpod, I never forgot about you, just been very busy .
  16. Front L & R main, welcome to the forum. I would guess the crossover should be around 130, about 10 or 20 above where the Quintets start.. Quintet lll frequency response Satellite: 110Hz-23kHz +/- 3dB Center: 120Hz-23kHz +/- 3dB
  17. You mean that it takes more than one person trading their wife and dog for Forte speakers to convince you? dtel, add your two cents please. I get myself in enough trouble with one wife, although I cause most of it, I know for a fact.
  18. I don't blame you one bit. If I were you and had a chance to get them cheap, and like the sound, I would have done the same thing. ( I have never heard them myself ) They have many people here that have other brands, If you like them that's all that matters ! And thank you for your service, and thank your wife she lives it also !

    Deja Vu

    I really liked this movie, Denzel Washington is a ATF officer who is investigating a terrorist bombing of a river ferry, and gets involved with a goverment weapon that looks back in time. It's hard to explain, but worth watching. IMO Maby some else can explain it better ?
  20. " I have 14 of my Klipsch speakers in that room " ....................YOU ARE PERFECT FOR THIS FORUM ! [{][}]
  21. Cornwalls, just cut the holes a little bigger than you were planing.
  22. Hey welcome to DE-Lurking side, of the forum, stick around we haven't spent all your money yet !
  23. Me to, in corner, edges of the speaker a few inches from the wall, don't matter that much for me, they are set to small.
  24. dtel

    Why???

    Excluding myself, Klipsch is a smart buy, for the quality of sound for the $, this equals a smarter customer = smart people on the forum ? Ok it was just a guess, [:|] I am here to use others people's brains, because mine hurts trying to figure some of this out, good question though ! If you ask most people on the forum they would also say it's a much better looking crowd also, but many stretch the truth in that department, one even thinks he looks like Kevin Costner ! [*-)]
