Solving for peak sound pressure level.

Inputs:

speaker total Q at f_s (Q_ts)
equivalent air compliance (V_as)
box or enclosure volume (V_b)

Conversions:

speaker total Q at f_s (Q_ts)	=	=
equivalent air compliance (V_as)	=	=	meter^3
box or enclosure volume (V_b)	=	=	meter^3

Solution:

peak sound pressure level (SPL_peak)
