Have 2 of these new in original boxes thinking that open baffle might work well to get some crunch and punch?
Specs below.
For my basic theatre room/music room build. Do you think these specs are good for that type of application? These speakers have been sitting for a while and I need to move some air in the room I am building.

Hmm, 'boom/punch' = ~ 100-180 Hz/yes if baffle is large enough for the intended app; 'crunch' = ~ 2 - 3.5 kHz/no, based solely on the E155's published 30 - 2 kHz BW. Interactive Frequency Chart
The JBL was designed for a bass horn. The lower Xmax and low QTS dont make it a natural match for OB. Take a look at the specs for the Acoustic Elegance https://aespeakers.com/shop/dipole/dipole18/ to see what a purpose designed OB are.
If you use the JBL OB make sure you dont bottom them. Hornresp will model it in an OB and guide you on how fast Xmax is exceeded at low freq.
