How to tell a 2 ohm or 4 ohm subwoofer...

I'm going to be rewiring my sub's to a different amp. and I'm looking over the documentation for both the subs and the amp. The subs are Kicker 10'' CompVR's. Now my question is, how can I tell if these subs are dual 4 ohm or dual 2 ohm. If I take the woofers out of the box, would it say on the magnet or on the back side?

Thanks in advance.

It might say on the magnet. If it does it would be something like cvr104 for 4 ohm or cvr102 for 2 ohm.
