Guitar Amp Heads?

So after fooling around with many different ways to get sounds I have decided on always splitting my signal, the bass-y cleans go to an SWR Silverado Special 350w while the high wet sounds to to a Peavy Vyper 60w Tube. I know that using a bass through a guitar amp excessively will blow the speaker but I might have a solution. Is it at all possible to run somthing like Invalid Link Removed guitar head through a bass cabinet? And if so what kind of cab should I get?
Let me know if any of you guys have tried splitting the signal like this cause I'm rather curious to how other have done it :)
 
It's no issue, you can do it. All I'd advise is with the guitar head, get a cab with no tweeter or at least where the tweet can be switched off. You can use guitar drivers in a bass rig if you keep the lows out of them by crossing them over or biamping to a real bass woofer. You split the signal by frequency. Like say below 300hz to a bass woofer and clean. Above 300 hz to a guitar driver and effected (or also clean if you want, the guitar driver's breakup will still add a little grind).
 
Works for me
B52 100 watt SS state head to Ampeg B25B cab with Sunn 80watt and Jensen 50 watt 15" speakers and GK 400RB-III to Sunn 215BH with Eminence legends. I split the two coming out of my pedal board's stereo chorus. I use the gain channel on the guitar head while keeping the bass amp signal clean, sounds like guitar and bass in unison. Unless I hit the Big Muff, then it all gets hairy.
