You might also try posting up in the speaker forum. Welcome to AK btw!

Probably nothing too high end as the fourth photo shows just one capacitor for a crossover. Possibly 70's speakers meant for someone on a budget.

One question though, what the heck are they hooked up to, that outlet thingy on the wall?

Isn't that the rear inside panel of the speaker?

Yup, that's an inside view from the rear. Not much in there.

Whoops, I lied. There's two of them in there. One for the tweet and one for the mid.

But the $64 question is, what the heck are they wired to???

a circuit breaker and terminal strip

You can see a red button in the pic of the speaker terminals. Certainly looks like a resetable circuit breaker of some sort.

The crossovers are super-cheap which would be expected in "budget" speakers but the cabinet looks to be doubled-up panels -screwed from the inside- which I found surprising.

A number of speakers used just a cap to crossover to a mid or tweet.

The circuit breaker was used in a few different speakers. Norman used them in a lot of their speakers sometimes multiple units. Specs are probably legible on the metal box the circuit breaker is made in. The wiring indicates it is a whole speaker over power protection device with the hot red lead going from speaker input to the breaker then to the drivers.

Might help to have the info on the drivers because this should ID the maker of the drivers.

Your unidentified speaker appears similar to the 1975 Avid 105 but narrower:
