I'm fixing to build a frankenstein PA system using only the parts that i find for free or for a symbolic price, so i stumbled upon this speaker and was thinking this would be the subreddit that could probably help me ID it. Just from looking at it i'm like 95% sure its fake but theres always a slim (really slim) chance it might be legit

Here are the photos:

Looks like any generic 12" woofer. Stamped basket, tiny motor, paper cone, and foam surround. They get produced for like $5 each and rebranded when ordered.

Don't expect much in the way of bass extension or high SPL. Speaking from experience the best usage is 70-300Hz in a 3 way speaker.
