Volume of air that has the same compliance as the suspension of the sub. Fs - sub's free air resonant frequency Qts - Total Q of the driver at the Fs.

Vas - Joe already explained that one.
Joe Smoe Gold Member Username: Invain Michigan United States Post Number: 3807 Registered: Aug-04	Posted on Tuesday, October 04, 2005 - 20:29 GMT A lower Fs doesn't meen the sub is more suited for SQ. It meens it will have a lower frequency response, and in free air the peak frequency will be low. If you want a sub that can play horrendously loud at really low levels, get something with a really low Fs, such as below 20hz.
