Vas (Equivalent Compliance Volume)
Thiele-Small parameter. Volume of air with same compliance as driver suspension. Large Vas = soft suspension = large box needed. Small Vas = stiff suspension = smaller box OK. → See also: Thiele-Small
Chapter 10.1

Voice Coil
Wire coil attached to speaker cone former. Current through coil in magnetic field creates force, moving cone. Dual voice coil (DVC) = two coils on same former for wiring flexibility. → See also: DVC
Chapter 1.2

Voltage Drop
Reduction in voltage due to wire resistance. Formula: Vdrop = I × Rwire. Target: <3% of supply voltage (< 0.36V on 12V system). Fix: larger wire gauge, shorter runs, better connections. → See also: AWG, Big Three
