Can you ID this driver?

[Jaybeevee]

Sorry i don’t have much to go on, but can anyone help me identify this eminence 12” driver please?

it’s out of a TKS 1126

To my untrained eye it looks like a kappalite. I'd weigh it and see if it matches for weight.

I’d agree  - Eminence Kappalite 3012LF.

I think the Kappalite 3012HO would have been a more appropriate fit for the cabinet in question. Looks identical to the Kappalite 3012LF but is a smidgen lighter so I would double check the weight.

Many thanks, confirmed it as a kappalite 3012LF 👍

Not if it's a 12. It could be a 3012HO, could be a 3012LF, which has a deeper rear 'mushroom'. Or it could be an OEM version of either. TBH neither the HO or LF are ideal for electric bass. An OEM with specs midway between them, along with the longer voice coil that the extended mushroom allows, beats them both. I've worked with a few of those designing commercial cabs.

I was hoping @Bill Fitzmaurice would reply= and I agree with him. Likely a custom Kappalite as supplied to a number of cabinetmakers.

Offhand I'd say it's a 3012LF magnet structure judging by the depth of the recess in the mushroom.
