Every figure comes from the Thiele-Small and technical tables Fi prints on its Alpha Series product page, including the 0.11 cubic foot driver displacement, and the parameters check against each other: the printed Qts reproduces from Qes and Qms, and Fi's moving mass agrees with its Fs, Vas and cone area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"po-highlight\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e0.80 cubic feet net is Fi's own minimum recommended sealed volume for the Alpha 12.

Fi publishes one parameter set for the Alpha 12 that covers the S1, S2 and S4 single coil versions, so one alignment serves all three.
