most likely chinese. even if you found a specification, you have to take that with a bottle of salt.
With the stamped frame there won't be any recone kits available for it and with the flat back plate it's most certainly an old low xmax large VAS woofer... not a subwoofer.
+1 on Eminence. Maybe an ME15-200.
I'd only buy it if I needed something fast/cheap. Newer models will likely be higher performance.

Some Eminence aftermarket recone kits will do both the stamped and cast frame versions. They will come with both spiders when applicable. Found that out when looking for Delta Pro 15 kits a while back. That CONE looks the same, although the surround is the one from Beta15. Magnet is definitely different, but the pole piece may be compatible. It looks like an early 80’s Eminence frame, after they switched from square to round magnets.
Yes, and I bet a skilled reconer could put together a collection of random parts that would work too.
In my book recone kits mean expen$$$ive and very poor model selection, only for very few top line expensive speakers and even so only a few models.
That leaves thousands of "orphan" speakers.
As conansky says, a reconer can put out, mix and match any combination of after market parts needed to repair an almost infinite variety of speakers.
And for ay more reasonable price.
All Eminence are easy peasy because they tend to use "standard" or "popular" dimensions.
Now with Japanese speakers, you go crazy.
With Eminence you typically have "round" numbers in inches, say 3/4, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75 (Celestion), 2, 2.5" all of which are popular and easy to find.
With Japanese you will find such delights as 28mm Aiwa, 30mm Pioneer and a thousand other, none of which follow the "unwritten standard" of "inch fractions" or "multiples"
Oh well.

I get it
Felt same way at first.
Looks sorta like a stamp Eminence
But there is a zillion stamp frame speakers
that sorta look like eminence.
Actual EIA number printed somewhere would
confirm that.
Otherwise its just a everyday
Cloth edge live sound speaker.
You can make a wild guess what Qts is.
Or it will be higher or lower like a zillion other
15" live sound boxes.
You would find out the same answer
with or without parameters that it wants
about
85 to 115 liters or
Same old 3 to 4 cubic feet for a live sound
15" on the small to normal size.
or .7 to .8 Qtc
Or for .5 Qtc
A 15" will want 140 to 240 liters
Aka a big old box that nobody actually builds
unless you like that for a HiFi .5 Qtc alignment
15" speaker is no wild guess.
Its either 3 or 4 cubic feet.
Depends how " small" you want it.
And whatever magic excuses people need to
justify a small box.
Then people either tune it high at 50 Hz
to make the port more obvious.
Or tune it to 40 Hz for less annoying port
when you goose the EQ for actual bass boost.
Its basic 15" 3mm maybe 4mm xmax.
96 to 98 dB
200 to 250 watts thermal.
And basically actually hits 10% distortion
at 60 to 80 watts.
3 or 4 cubic feet 40 or 50 Hz tune
your done.
