Not a Sica. It is an Eminence Neodymium magnet driver of some model. Hard to say which model as there were several versions of this design.
If there are no other markings on the frame, I don't know if the basket markings ID it.

What Jerry said, an Eminence Neo. No label means it's an OEM version sold inside some piece of gear.
Dude on the net said those same numbers (at least the first string) are stamped on the cone of a speaker he took out of a Mesa Walkabout Scout bass amp. Says it's an Eminence Deltalite, but a custom 4ohm version of that speaker that Eminence made for Mesa.

The closest relative is the 8ohm version of the same thing, a Deltalite 2512 - Series II:

Looking at the frequency graph, it seems like it would be a nice speaker for steel guitar, assuming you can put a 4ohm speaker in your amp. And assuming yours actually is 4ohm.... don't know what second line of markings stamped on the cone might indicate, but they're pretty different from what the guy with the 4ohm has.

I'd just be guessing that the lower line of numbers indicates date of build.

Yes, It's 4 ohm. Looks like this is a real high powered speaker.
Thanks all!

Also looks identical to the speakers I got from TC Furlong years ago when he was selling off a load of speakers. Really nice speakers for steel.

Looks like the second run of speakers TC used, maybe? The first line was an Italian manufacturer without the shine if memory serves me correctly.

Sorry Dave! We were posting at the same time. I got a couple of those when TC offered them and they sounded great. Rated like 500 watts. The Italian speaker was installed in the split I had and sounded a bit warmer than the eminence to my ears.Also looks identical to the speakers I got from TC Furlong years ago when he was selling off a load of speakers.

Hi David Higgenbotham -
I’m with you -
the first speakers TC Furlong used in his ‘SPLITs’ had black magnets & the second issue speakers had silver magnets.
Per TC Furlong, the latter speakers ( with the silver magnets ) were specifically designed to ‘help tame the highs.’
Great speakers / love ‘em.

Re: Can anyone identify this speaker?
Yes, I believe you are right about the furlong. Thanks for refreshing my memory. Got this speaker as part of "deal" a few years ago.
Does look like the Eminence though.
Thanks again to all.
