Answer:

I don't think you have a fortune in your hands, they sound like speakers from the mid '70's, the heavy weight is magnet weight, supposedly the heavier the magnet, the better the soundI kept very few of the factory speakers I changed out for new Jensens, the originals had to be in very good condition, (cones not broken, wiring intact, etc.) before I'd keep themThe octagon shape was for fit in different model vehicles and the pentastar logo was on all Chrysler speakers.
They sometimes use helicopters to extract the vertical structural membersIt's impressive, I've seen it a couple of times with a HUGE helicopter.
