I keep seeing references to "Loudspeakers 101" in this instance are people talking about a specific book ( I'm thinking of Ray Alden's building loudspeakers ) or are people using it as a generic term for a basic introduction to speaker design and construction??
Here in Oz we don't use that type of terminology for education programs but we watch enough idiot box to be familiar with the term.
If Ray Alden ever authored a book subtitled Loudspeakers 101 please direct me to it, I'd like to purchase it.

Generic term AFAIK. The only RA book I'm aware of is the various revisions of this one: http://www.amazon.com/Advanced-Speaker-Designs-Hobbyist-Technician/dp/0790610701

When I started frequenting the various speaker building forums, this was most folk's reference and AFAIK is still considered the best one overall: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?partnumber=500-035
