HELP!! Need a new speaker!

My Ibanez Promethean P3110 speaker has developed a loud buzzing sound whenever I pluck a note on my bass. It sounds like the classic slashed speaker they used to do back in the day when they wanted to get a distorted sound, which of course I don't want. The spec for the original speaker is 300 watts @ 4 ohms, and it comes with a small piezo speaker built in for a tweeter, which I can live without. My question is what would be a good replacement speaker? I'm thinking of this:

Invalid Link Removed
or this: Invalid Link Removed

but I'm not sure if it'll work, so I'm asking the experts here for some advice. I need to replace the speaker before next weekend when we have our next gig. I know it's not a hard job to replace a speaker, but I just want to make sure I get it right.
 
I had this happen to a friend of mine. I replaced his speaker with an Invalid Link Removed, into which I installed an inexpensive piezo tweeter. Worked well.
 
I finally decided on the Eminence Legend CA-10 speaker. Rated at 200W @ 8 ohms. I use the Promethean as a monitor so it doesn't need to be super powerful, just enough for me to hear myself. My signal is DIed into the PA so everyone hears me just the same. Should be here on Thursday, just in time for me to install it for this coming Saturday's gig.
