Label on the side of the magnet, back of magnet just painted glossy black. ...and the number stamped on the back of the 12" woofer paper cone.

Speaker Close-ups...

I actually took a shot - this was before GPS, cell phones (well, in my house at least) and obviously vehicle WiFi, and I tried to find the good Dr. With nothing more than a paper map and maybe a Guitar Player magazine with an address; on the way home from vacation, late in the afternoon...
