Hey there. I just picked these 4 speakers up today. I have been trying to find some info on them but am having little luck. Anything you can tell me about them, including approximate value would be great. Also if there decent quality or not. I'm debating on building towers to house them for a stereo build in my living room. Thanks!

Most likely made by Eminence, Fender often labels Eminence speakers as Fender Special Design and they are made in Eminence KY. U.S.A.

But Arjay, they're genuine sound tested drivers! :lol:

Not everything Eminence makes is incredible even though they're made here. They make speakers to their clients spec when they're private labeled. Might not be an Eminence speaker and may well be something cheap and from China. My GDec 30 is Made in Indonesia and the 10" driver is some POS no-name driver. On the rare occasion I use it, I plug it into my Egnater cabs.
Load them in a cab and let er rip. You might like them. I've never seen nor heard of them.
Usually Fender owns up to the manufacturer at least in open back cabs. :lol:

If those......"speakers"......were made by Eminence they'd have an EIA code stamped on them that read "67-XXXX" like virtually every other product that Eminence makes, whether as OEM for an amp company or for sale under their own name. I'll bet a crisp new C-note that they came from the same factory that that builds the import Celestions. And you know where those come from.

Eminence®

Solid performers in countless amps made by Fender and other companies for many years, Eminence speakers deliver first-rate versatility and value, and remain one of the only U.S.-made speaker brands. Fender often labels its Eminence speakers as “Fender Special Design” because Eminence works closely with Fender to develop particular speaker performance characteristics for specific amps. Eminence also offers a range of over-the-counter replacement speakers in myriad flavors. :mrgreen:

And every OEM Eminence speaker installed in a modern Fender amp has a label affixed to it that looks just like this......

Find this label on one of those green things and collect your $100, cowboy.

Here is a Fender amp (Frontman 212R) with Eminence Special Design speakers:
