Every figure comes from JL Audio's published 13W7AE-D1.5 parameters, and they hold together: Qes and Qms reproduce the printed Qts, and the 300 g moving mass and 0.153 mm\/N compliance reproduce the 23.5 Hz resonance and 104.3 liter Vas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"po-highlight\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.875 cubic feet net on JL's published Fs 23.5 Hz, Qts 0.448 and Vas 104.3 liters: Qtc 0.771, system resonance 40.5 Hz, half power 37.4 Hz. Those are the figures JL prints for its own recommended sealed box, and this cabinet reproduces them. JL's own sealed recommendation for the 13W7AE-D1.5 is 1.875 cubic feet net, and this cabinet is built to it.
