What have I got hear (speakers)

This speaker came with my boat. I used it for a couple years, but I stopped using it a while ago - I kind of didn't like it up on the tower because it's pretty heavy ~30 lbs.
So I took it apart, thinking maybe I'd just take the speaker out...
The guy said it was some kind of PA system for a band. So I'm wondering - what's up with the speaker and the horn type thing, what are the electonics that are inside, and how should I have the amp hooked up to the connection in the back (I previously had it just connected to the two connections where the wires are; and left the other two connections unused).

PS no pun intended on the title. It won't let me edit my typo.

Looks like a mid-bass driver, horn, and crossover

Look like the P.O.S version...or as tom said...an anchor

Well, it's certainly heavy enough to be a boat anchor...
Why do you say it's a POS? It's been awhile, but I remember it being loud and clear enough that I was hoping to be able to re-use it.
I found one selling online for $500 - now I'm thinking of putting it on ebay (or is that $500 way off?)

if it works, there's a frat somewhere that wants it.
