Car Audio Central - Ultimate Car Audio Forum and Community

Thanks a ton! English defiantely isn't my forte, so this helps!
I was actually thinking of the analogy of the ear working just like a microphone, originally, but I never thought a speaker could be one if you just hooked it up "in reverse", nor did it cross my mind! This thread, and all the websites I've been reading on help opened my mind up so much in a more general way of how this stuff works. Makes me even more interested in pursuing some type of engineering, or chemistry, in school.

This image may help you a little more, it's zoomed in further and a bit simpler. Color coded, too

This page in general describes speaker operation and has a lot of cutaways. A lot of it is in relation to system design, but the basics are on there, too. Lots of good stuff on that website, links to other tutorials are on the left if you want them for future reference.

I could find 10 threads a day to link people to, for various information you always see people asking for, day after day...

...well, on other forums, anyway. You know.

Yeah, I was a little giddy when I found that one Tons of typing saved there If we had sites like that in the 80s I would have saved myself a ton of reading.

Yea, I bookmarked that one as soon as I opened it.
