Evidence

This component did not have a datasheet to go off of so many of the answers are based on what speakers are generally known to do as well as the markings on the speaker itself. The speaker had the word China on it so I attributed its manufacturing to China. For what it was made of I consulted an animation of how a speaker similar to it. For the meanings of the symbol 6Ω I went to Boomspeaker.com which breaks down the different variations of ohm. The last symbol 5W I knew W represented watt.
