Bass cabinets
From ShawnReevesWiki
I'm searching for a bass cabinet to replace, improving, a Peavey TKO 115.
Desired specifications
I'd like it to work with both electric bass and a subwoofer channel after a 180Hz crossover, so it should have at least good sensitivity between 30Hz and 180Hz.
Bass cabinets
A cabinet made for electric bass will handle the full range of frequencies coming from a bass, unlike subwoofers (see below) that won't play anything over 200Hz without mud.

Subwoofers
A dedicated subwoofer, with very large speakers, will have a flatter response between 30Hz and ~200Hz, so will handle kick drums and other very low frequency sounds better than an amp for electric bass.
A 12" sub will respond well down to around 50Hz, while an 18" sub will respond well down to around 35Hz.
