A driver spec sheet looks like alphabet soup, but as a beginner you only need five numbers: Fs, Qts, Vas, Xmax and sensitivity. Here's what each one means in plain English, then I try them on two real drivers: a 6.5" mid-woofer and an 18" subwoofer.
The written guide (all of this, plus a few more specs):

Every driver figure is from the maker's own datasheet.
About the voice: I made a clone of my own voice (ElevenLabs), and AI uses it to read my videos. I'm busy running a few online businesses and I'm no good at filming or editing, so AI is what gets these videos made. I write and check every script myself.
