Any guesses on the age of these

They are 12" kickers and they have foam surround with a cloth dust cap with just the word KICKER in yellow. Any idea of the box size they need and the wattage? thanks in advance

Gen I
1993-96 ish
250 watts for 12" (clamed 500 peak....that was pushing it)
1.5 cf per sealed only

Ground breaking speaker, stitched surround, great sounding....good value for the money...even back then.

It sounds like the first run of their woofers. 1985

89-91 models, my guess. I bought a set of components brand new built the same, in 91

I do not know how long they made these, but they were introduced late 85 or early 86. And as stated earlier, they were a much better sounding driver than anything out there.

Does that look like the sub you are asking about?

That is what I have. any info. Box size they need?

If I remember correctly, those kickers were similar to comps. You'll need 1.5-2.0 cubic feet sealed. Ideally, 1.75 cubic feet.
