Speakers? Thoughts?!?

That looks like a magnavox console woofer, and the horns?!? Maybe from a farm supply store.

Can't say they look like any console horns I've run across. More like PA horns. Here's the CL ad pic.

No, I said the largest woofer looked like a console speaker. I said the horns looked like some sort of industrial horn you can buy at a tractor supply store. I should've added a comma between the two thoughts to make it more clear. Sorry. I'll go edit my post now, and add that comma.

PA speakers. I've seen them at mine. I only used the term "horn", because the seller is calling them horns. They look like outdoor PA speakers, and our Northern Tool Co. carries them.
 
Perhaps they made them to pump music through that warehouse?

I've seen outdoor PA speakers at both of the local farm stores here.
 
looks like some typical University, Telex, or maybe EV or UTAH reverse compression PA horns, typically mounted on utility poles at state fairs.

Never seen them added to a horn enclosure like that before, probably figured it would work, why not?
 
The horns are "re-entrant" type. Kustom and Peavey used them for HF in early PA enclosures, along with probably at least a dozen smaller companies.

The "Perkins" type enclosure in the center was also popular in the same era(it's not a constrained throat mid bass horn like a VOT), have seen them scaled for speakers 5 inch to 15 inch diameters, many companies that sold/marketed drivers also offered cabinet plans. EV, Peavey, and Yamaha all offered 2 way Perkins type PA boxes circa ~1985-1995, they were pretty popular and reinforce vocals well, late Peavey model was SP-3(which did constrain/compress the throat ala VOT).
