I am looking for information on this speaker!I found a thread with similar stamps but will ask here too!
A28-12E08-1 is on the woofer cone, bought in Hamilton Ontario last week, Crude cab says "Bass" on the front and rear plate says O.H.M. company Toronto. The gold stickers on the magnets look added and originals are peeled off. Any info helps! Possible Jensons? Oh yeah, woofers have silver dust caps, are 12's, 16 ohms wired in series to 4 ohms.

Well,
manufacturers OEM part numbers are usually considered proprietary which is why you don't see them widely published.
They keep all that stuff under wraps to prevent copy-cat products from competitors.
And so, it's more difficult to identify.
We can only derive certain parts of the number, and not the whole banana.
A28-12E08-1
Just that it's a 12 inch 8 ohm cone. The voice coil can be substituted with a 16 ohm since the 2 parts are glued together....it might have been built as 16 ohm, but don't assume that.
You have to measure that coil to be sure if it is 16 ohm.
"E" is probably the power class / power rating.
Your speakers are wired in parallel not series. 4X 16 ohm in parallel is 4 ohms.
But we don't know for sure that these are 16 ohm speakers (yet).
125-18
125 is probably the manufacturer ID number.
1 is the year probably.
8 is the month probably.
If the speaker was built by Bendix (probably) it could have been sold under many different brand names. Jensen, Ohm, etc...
DWE8
Again it's most likely telling you that it's an 8 ohm speaker originally, but it could have been reconed as something else, possibly 16 ohm.
"E" again is probably a power rating.
Since all these part numbers are telling us 8 ohm,
you need to start by disconnecting the speakers and measuring them w/ an ohm meter, one at a time.
Then you can go from there....
