...speakers? Stereo speakers? I have an interest in how speakers function. I have a basic understanding of electro-magnetics, and am primarily interested in the magnetic oscillations which cause the coil to vibrate. Specifically, how variations in the size and strength of the fixed magnet, length and gauge of the copper coil, and operating power affects the intensity of the oscillations, and how that in turn determines sound quality. I am really interested in the basics so I can build some prototype systems and experiment. I am however having difficulty finding resources on the subject either online or in the library. I have access to a large university library and am assuming there must be some literature on the subject, so if there are keywords in the physics community I can try searching to find them please let me know (I keep getting junk about public speaking and dead celebrities). Any online resources would help too. I have several texts with chapters on magnetic induction and electromagnetic theory, but I now need something about the specifics of speaker design. Thanks
