The "Volume" of what? This doesn't make sense with what the term "Volume" means in other contexts.

Is it because of the
volume of air displaced by the speaker cone? You couldn't know that at the amp, because it depends on the frequencies in the signal; bass frequencies having a higher "volume" than tiny tweeter frequencies. Also depends on the ability of the driver to reproduce those frequencies. And the efficiency of the driver. etc.
Could it refer to the "volume" of tubes or something in some archaic technology?
