[QUOTE="Water Bear, post: 8642205, member: 673826"] To gain a real understanding, what you should probably look in to: Ordinary Differential Equations, in particular "damped spring mass systems." From the perspective of mathematical modeling, a speaker is a driven, damped, sprung mass. The study of ODEs will help you understand resonance, "damping factor", and the relationship between input and output power (look into the "amplitude gain function," a section of the book on ODEs that for some reason we frequently skip when teaching engineers). You may also want to learn a little bit of electricity and magnetism in physics (Ampere's law being the most relevant one here), and a touch of classical physics (learn what "work" and "power" are, as defined by physicists, and in the application to signals in electrical engineering). You can most likely use specific T/S parameters to make practical calculations from there. [/QUOTE]
