Anyone know these cabs?

   Hi! 
I just got a hold of two 2x15 + CD midtops that i know nothing about.
They have no writing on them other than the logo on the front, but searching for it gives no result. Opened them up and the drivers were not marked either. So not quite sure how much power to give or where to cross them. 
The logo says "AUDIO master"

All help appreciated, thanks!

	"Master Audio" is a known brand, "AUDIO Master" does not ring a bell with me... Imgur link does not work for me

	Master audio has become amate as far as i know and is mostly popular in Holland due to a link between gambling machine suppliers who sold the system as a package in the 90's/00's these cabs are definately not build by them (in spain) Their cabinets were more angled, used thick black paint and grilles with larger holes. the logo on yours seems more like a generic one found on chinese cabs but the 15" have a distinct JBL-look to them.

	First the brand name was Amate Audio, then changed to Master Audio, and then back to Amate Audio to reconnect with the Companys roots. They make very very good speakers! Mainly 18sound loaded. Dont know about these Audio Master. Smells like some generic chinese masse produced.

	The cabs and grilles look good, a solid build. Maybe check the drivers, they look like 18sound or JBL.

	Here is some photos of the drivers and the crossover, they do indeed seem like jbl copies. http://imgur.com/gallery/K4vUS8n

	They look like copies, true. The crossover and wiring dont look too serious as well. They are definetely chineese knockoffs.
