• Speaker or driver type (Individual units only) – Full-range, woofer, tweeter or mid-range.

• Rated Power – Nominal or continuous or RMS power and peak or maximum short-term power.

• Impedance – 4 Ω, 8 Ω, etc.

• Baffle or enclosure type (Finished systems only) – Sealed, bass reflex, etc.

• Number of drivers (Finished systems only) – 2-way, 3-way, etc.

and optionally,

• Crossover frequency(ies) (Finished systems only) – The frequency or frequencies where electrical filtering occurs.

• Frequency response – The measured or specified variance in sound pressure level over a range of frequencies.

• Thiele/Small parameters (Individual units only) – These include the driver's F_s (resonance frequency), Q_ts (the driver's Q or damping factor at resonance), and V_as (the equivalent air compliance volume of the driver).
