How do I calculate speaker box volume and port size?

Calculating box volume for a sealed box requires Vas, Fs, & Qts. We will use the standard .707 value for Qtc for a smooth roll-off at the low end. Calculating box volume and port size for a ported enclosure requires Vas, Fs, Qts, and the cone diameter. To calculate the speaker box volume, we will use the Speaker Box Designer .

Why are big speakers louder than small speakers?

The speaker is bi-amped, which opens up the frequency range and gives it more power in mid-range sounds. The drivers play a part in this: each driver captures its own distinct portion of mid- and low-range sounds.
