R would then drive Q significantly and must be an overall obstruction to the osculation... so in a speaker probably energy lost flexing the speaker surrounds, or likely more significantly, the speaker magnet inducing voltages into the voice coil...maybe... What would Inductance and Capacitance...

Interesting...thanks for replying. What qualities of steel would cause a spring to dampen more or less without affecting its spring rate? Could 2 different springs be constructed such as they have the same spring rate, yet have a differing damping quality? My understanding is that speakers...

I apologize in advance for not being physics savy. My question stems from my interest in loudspeaker behavior, but I think I need to clear up some more basic physics. I'm trying to understand what determines the Quality factor of an oscilator/resonator. Given 2 system's with identical spring...
