Actually, according to one of the Boogie catalogs from the eighties, it mentions the boogie half back metal grill cabs to be made of mahogany.
And recent Mesa catalogs mention the thieles to be composed of Birch.
FWIW
Definition - Philippino Mahogany = Luan = cheap mahogony plywood
I have stripped a few 80's Mesa cabs for re-tolexing and all were made with "Luan" aka Philipino Mahogany Plywood.

My thiele and my metal grill was built with mahogany..
I assume you don't mean hardwood for the 4x12 but it could be.
Merendina do you have any pics?

Platy hard to say what speaker/ cab combination would do it all.
But in a metal grille halfback try a mix of EV's in the bottom and something like the Eminence MS-12 (150w) or VS-12's (50w) up top.
