Seconded.
On second thought, it might be a knockoff.
I thought the outboard surface on those Black Widow magnets had a convex surface, and that looks flat.
I'd never heard of a knockoff Black Widow, but nothing would surprise me

It's definintely a Peavey Black Widow 15" speaker of some kind. DT or Deep Throw basket design identified by the square frame legs. Never heard of or seen a bootleg BW speaker. The large mag port is typical of big magnets of late 90's on drivers. The most recent having a red spider decal. That is non-neo style mags.
There should be a tag like the one in the above photo with some numbers. Would read 150[X]-DT Imp [x] ohm. It could be one of several different speakers. If it has an aluminum dust cover it could be a 1501-4 DT. Got a shot of the front? |

Hard to see through the grill cloth, but doesn't look like an aluminium dust cover. |

If it doesn't have an alum. cover, there's no way to correctly identify it except by the tag at the terminals. The tag is nearly impossible to see mounted in the cab. You'd need a mirror or remove the driver to see them.
You could measure the DC resistance and that could eliminate some models. |
