I've seen a few people ask this and I wanted to know myself - so here's a site that allows you to calculate the volume of a speaker. The proper name for the shape is 'conical frustum'.
I don't have any idea how calculate the vol. , I only worry about matching up my heads to my cabs (watts and Ohms) .................and keeping it loud enough for me to have fun but not to loud to disturb the neighbors.....

But if you're going to build your own cab - which quite a few on this forum do - then you need to know the volume of the speaker, ports and bracing. This is because if WinISD calculates a (say) 45 litre box then you need to build a (say) 53 litre box so the volume of the speaker, ports and bracing bring the actual 'free' volume in the cab down to 45 litres.
Cool, now there's some useful info. So far I've been taking the diameter where it comes through the back of the baffle, then the diameter of the back of the magnet, averaging them and figuring the volume of a cylinder. Figured it was close but not right on.
sorry ColinB, if WINISD calculates a 45 litre box, it is the netto volume because it doesn't know what's in there,for exaple;the shape of the speaker(s), bracing(how much), air mass in the port(s), so you have to ADD the volume taken up by these things. So the total volume become more then 45 litres

now i see, we explane it in a different way
