Welcome to TB!
The "4" at the end of the part number indicates it is a 4 ohms load.
350 watts continuous. <-- Use this for matching with your amplifier.
700 watts program
600 watts AES

The Firebass 700 is rated as 275 watts at 8 ohms, 475 watts at 4 ohms, and 700 watts at 2 ohms. You can use the 115 you mentioned if you are careful not to try and dump a lot of power into it.

350 watts RMS, so be very careful with your amp.

Most likely a different part number in the combo.

Many combos used Scorpion drivers, Black Widow badges were often added by owners and used gear dealers.
