4 Celestion g12k-85's 4 Bass?

I picked up a Peavey cab with the afformentioned g12's inside. I rewired it to 4 ohms and have been playing my SVT 200t SS head through it. I'm warming it up with a tubeworks bluetube 12ax7 pedal and it's sounding nice and loud and clean. Aside from the fact that I'm playing bass through a 4x12 slant faced guitar cab, am I looking at damaging the speakers? The head puts out 350w a 4 ohms. 'Preciate your help

Finding specs on Celestions is a duanting task at best. However, being a guitar driver it's a safe bet that it has very limited excursion and will probably take only 20 watts or so before farting out. You'd get far better low end with bass drivers, and a cabinet designed to go with them.
