I've been thinking and trying hard to come up with something nice to say about those speakers. I guess... they look better built than my barn ones. I don't even know if it's worth the time to put effort or money into those to try and improve them.

This is why they're from white vans, and also why I got them for free.

I've been thinking of making my own cabinets for fun because I can clearly make something better than these :D

Yea, those look like super thin MDF/fiberboard. I was reading the other day about how quality speakers were made in the 50's and 60's with 12-ply marine grade plywood. Talk about heavy. I would look and see if there's a good speaker kit you can get that matches the sizes of the drivers you have in those so you could build a cabinet, pop the drivers from your white vans' in there and when you get the $$ pick up a kit or the parts for a total system.
