What is inside a speaker? Speaker cone & dust cap: the speaker cone is a cone-shaped stiff material that’s moved by the magnet & voice coil together to move air & create sound. The dust cap is a thin material (like a “cap”) that covers the opening in the speaker cone to keep out dust & dirt.

As nouns the difference between speaker and loudspeaker is that speaker is one who speaks while loudspeaker is an electromechanical transducer that converts an electrical signal into audible sound.

The three most commonly used sound radiation systems are the cone, dome and horn type drivers.

• Full-range drivers.
• Subwoofer.
• Woofer.
• Mid-range driver.
• Tweeter.
• Coaxial drivers.
• Horn loudspeakers.
• Transmission line loudspeaker.

Speakers work by converting electrical energy into mechanical energy (motion). The mechanical energy compresses air and converts the motion into sound energy or sound pressure level (SPL). When an electric current is sent through a coil of wire, it induces a magnetic field.

Because the amount of noise something makes is related to the amount of sound energy it sends out into the air. Bigger speakers sound louder because they have bigger cones that can pump out more energy per second, which means they’re more powerful.

Alternating current (ac) supplied to the loudspeaker creates sound waves in the following way: a current in the coil creates an electromagnetic field. the electromagnetic field interacts with the permanent magnet, generating a force which pushes the cone outwards. the current is made to flow in the opposite direction.

Fiberglass used for insulation and stuffing of speakers should be the batt or blanket type which is bought in thick layers (1 to 4 inches thick) and can be rolled out. If concerned, just lightly spray the surface with some clear lacquer or possibly adhesive like 3M 77 spray adhesive.

In general, people can plug multiple speakers in the same room and that will generate more sound, of course. However, another way to make the sound amplify louder is to set the speaker in a corner or close to the corner. This can actually amplify the volume by 40 percent in the room.

Go to Settings>Music>EQ and select Late Night. This is an easy trick that boosts the speaker volume. It can easily adjust the softer components of a song to be louder. There are other EQ options such as Hip-Hop, Loudness, Flat, etc.

Listening Habit Modifications

1. Position the speaker pair as far from one another as they are from the primary seating position.
2. Move them in from the back wall roughly 18 inches, if the room allows it.
3. Toe each speaker inward slightly.
4. Turn the volume down to a level where the speakers do not sound distressed.

More power may help in large rooms or with low efficiency speakers or it could be a waste. Up to a point louder sounds better and more powerful amps can avoid clipping, which is a very gross form of distortion and can damage speakers.

The bottom unit is the woofer which produces the low and mid notes. If you want to convert this speaker into a subwoofer, you will need to remove the tweeter and also the cross-over, which is a circuit that is designed to split the signal into high frequency and low frequency signals.
