Electronic – How to calculate Resonance Frequency of Audio Speaker

audiofrequencypowerresonancespeakers

Okay so I searched all over the Web for the resonance frequency of my car speaker so I can properly apply crossover filters, but didn't found any reference of the resonance frequency of this speaker model.

So how can I calculate it?

I have the following data:

Peak power: 150w
Rms power: 20w
Response Frequency: 90Hz-20kHz
Sensitivity: 91db/W/m
4 ohm

Thank you in advance!!

You cannot CALCULATE Fs, (Resonant frequency of loudspeaker moving mass in free air). But you can MEASURE it relatively easily. You will need a power amp, a variable frequency source, and a DMM. THere are many resources online for measuring driver characteristics. Fs is one of the primary measurements for the popular Thiele/Small parameters. Here is one straightforward explanation:
