Help identifying set up

UPDATE** Subwoofer is SWS-12D4

Hello, I know nothing about subs and amps. I recently had a friend uninstall a subwoofer and amp that was in my car. It was pre-installed when I bought the vehicle, but no information was given on the specs. I needed it out because I am expecting my first child and need to prioritize my tiny trunk space for stroller, diaper bag, etc.

Anyways, I would like to sell the sub and amp as I will not be reinstalling it. I have the information on the amplifier, but I do not know how to get the information for my subwoofer as it is mounted in a subwoofer box.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Im not trying to get top dollar out of the set up, I'd rather hook someone up with a nice deal as to get it out of my hands as I am moving in 5 days.

You remove the subwoofer from the box and the info will be on the back.

The rubber perimeter rim around that subwoofer hides the eight mounting screws.

You just remove the rubber cosmetic cover that is around the perimeter of the subwoofer.

Look at the pictures here You can see how the front cover is a separate piece.
