+1 make damn sure it's a BASS cab. Peavey makes 4x12's for both guitar and bass, you certainly don't want a guitar cab.

And they stopped making 412 bass cabs a while ago, apparently. they're not listed on their site anymore if they still do make them
That's area. You're forgetting excursion, how far the speaker moves back and forth. That multiplied by the area gives you the volume of air it can displace. If you can find excursion, you'll also find the Vd spec. That's the volume displacement already figured out for you.
To be honest, I don't really know what my question is anymore. I haven't ever purchased a cab, or a head, or even a combo amp. I need advice
Very good. Now we have some basis for a conversation.
Depending on your needs, which you have not yet told us, I would recommend cabs with 12's. One or two. These can be of many different brands and still fill the bill. Most 112 cabs available will handle 200-500 watts. A head in the 200 - 500 watts range will also be good.
If you are just beginning, consider a combo amp with a 12 or 15, that has maybe 100-200 watts. Ampeg would be great. Avoid Behringer.
My young friend. If you would post some particular needs, or tell us what you are trying to achieve, many players on this forum would chime in and try to help. All of us older players are eager to help and give our best advice, if we know what the needs are.
Don't be shy. And keep in mind that if you are just considering learning and have not yet even bought a bass or an amp, then your choice of amps is not as important as your choice in guitars, Do you have a bass? If not, that is a good place to start. Better than considering an amp
One minute- I had a thread on this already. I'll link to it and encourage you to read its entirety.
Here it is. In the end I got a head from bassmanpaul, which I'm very thankful for.
