you want a good flat response that goes to 80 hz (low E) or perhaps a little lower or at least doesn't drop too rapidly if you do dropped tunings (approx. 73 for a D and 65 for a C).
Speaker size doesn't have a lot to do with how low the speaker goes or how rich/full the bass is. I use an Acme B2 with my bass and I haven't run into a bass cab that has as fat and honest a low end. It is pretty much flat to 41hz (low E on a bass guitar) and -6 at 31 so you get a serious fundamental even from a low B on a 5 string bass which is 31 hz. It has two 10 inch woofers, a 5 inch mid and a tweeter and is very flat in response. It sounds great with acoustic guitar although the low end is overkill for an acoustic guitar.
