You'd have to find speakers to match the cab specs.
+1 on Mesa diesels. Berg is amazing, but it'll cost ya (though you did just get your fancy new job). Just my $.02, what about an ampeg 810?

I like 2-15" cabs that you experience. The Yamaha I have is one of those kind. It was based on a Sunn design, from the looks of it. If my back didn't suck, I would be keeping my Yamaha cab. It sounds MASSIVE.
A 15 is a 15. 4 old ones vs 4 new ones shouldnt affect any engineering aspects of a cabinet.
I always read people going nuts about proper engineering for cabinets based on the speaker specs, but I never see any actual plans anywhere other than far out full range cab designs, which I have no interest in. I wish there was some resource for simple cab designs for specific drivers with multiples of common sizes (115, 215, 210, 410, 112, 212, etc.). I know Eminence has those speaker enclosure design parameters attached to each speaker for various vented and sealed applications, but for the life of me even with their program and all the specs I can't ever seem to figure out how to make it just spit out a simple design that I could turn into a cut sheet and build.
So what you guys are saying is that I should buy that Kustom 215 Tuck N Roll in Sparkle Blue and throw some new speakers in it? 
What kind of max rating could you expect the cab could take with the two 300W speakers? This is not my territory.

each speaker can handle 300 watts, assuming its the only cab you run then each one of those speakers will see half of your amps output...therfore 600 watts.
having said that its the max excursion that you need to be careful of, most speakers will exceed their xmax well before you have pumped their max power handling...the higher the max excursion the less speaker fart.

Why would it be tricky? Its just new speakers in an old box. You can buy higher rated speakers from eminence they just cost more usually.
Actually, you can get a full range 15/6/1, just a 15/6, or a 15 sub with neither a mid driver nor a tweeter.

Yeah, that's true. He only specs it for a Kappalite 315LF though, I think, and just the ported 115.

Yeah but he said something like the cab can take 200-300 watt. My amp does 830w @ 4 ohms on one leg.
