there are 3 different enclosure designs for the alpha 10 speaker. (2pi, 2pi tower and 8pi).

In the info section of this website, it says that a woofer has an ideal enclosure volume. what is the ideal enclosure volume for the alpha 10 and why are there three different enclosure designs for it?

Also, how do I find get a value for Qd for he Ve=Vad/Qd equation?

thanks!

The Alpha 10 speaker works well in bass reflex cabinets ranging from approximately 1.0ft3 to 5.5ft3 tuned to 40Hz. It also works well in sealed cabinets of approximately the same size, and in horns of various shapes and back chamber volumes.

PiAlign suggests 1.4ft3 tuned to 37.5Hz, which is at the small end of the possible bass-reflex alignments. For the electro-mechanical parameters, you can substitute 1/Qts = Qd.
