Can Anybody identify these speakers

Cabinet looks like it could be one of the Woodstyle cabinets Madisound and maybe others sold back in the later '80s into the '90s

Presumably you were supposed to add a port of appropriate length. OP's only have a vent, which suggests that the cabinets were not tuned for the woofers that are installed in them. Also, strange mix of 4Ω and 6Ω drivers; that's not prohibited, provided the crossover is designed for it, but this crossover looks like it might be of the prebuilt variety.

Couple of other things I noticed: wires are soldered to drivers, which is rare in most speakers. And it looks as if the tweeters have been rotated at some point in their lives due the original screw holes getting stripped. Why would they have been removed after originally installed? Replacements?
 
Trying to search on some of the woofer codes the 67-8750... coding would fit Eminence the 8750 could be production date 50th week of 1987 which would fit with the other parts.

One to refoam and see how it sounds with an amp that can handle 4 ohm loads. Has potential.
 
Foam came in today. But pretty bent in shipping. Hopefully it relaxes overnight. I'll put one together tomorrow and let you all know how it sounds. Thanks loads for the info and the welcomes.

That woofer is definitely an Eminence. Model 12523.

That was probably made for the OEM of the speakers specifically, because that part number doesn't bring up any hits when searched (it likely wasn't a woofer from a parts catalog).

Where can I get a 3" tube to try porting these? Feel like there should be more bass with these heavy woofers.
 
Gotten finished. They look beautiful and sound pretty good. I went to home depot to buy a pvc port material and it didn't fit the hole. Being a cheapskate from Minnesota I looked around my garage for a suitable replacement and bingo. The heavy cardboard tube from the inside of a roll of bubble wrap. Cut it in half and glued it in the inside as it had a flange that it dropped into. Perfect fit. I bought a Onkyo at arc thrift that had variable ohm speaker settings and set it to 4 ohm. The bass is solid. Not boomy. Mids and tweeter is a little hollow sounding. I'm happy with them. I packaged them with a cheap Yamaha that has a 4 ohm switch Not holding out too much hope of them selling but. It was a fun project. What else am I going to do with my time? Thanks everyone for your input
