Yes, the 4508 with 2225 drivers are good LF speakers for stage speakers (not subwoofers). The combination is officially known as a 4648.
As for HF sections, you have your choices. To make a 4675 speaker, add a 4675C-HFA horn/driver/bracket combination. To make a 4670 speaker, add a 4670D-HF to the cabinet.
If you are looking to stick with used...you are looking for 2360 horns (with throats) (4675 horn). For the smaller horn, it is the 2380. With those horns, you can use just about any JBL large format compression driver from the 2440 series, including the 2440...more common models are the 2445 and 2446.
You can also use an Altec HF section featuring the 288 or 299 driver (or now the 399) with a suitable horn (I'm not a fan of the Multi-cell) like an Altec Mantaray series (MR94, MRII594A). Using a suitable throat adapter, you can use Altec drivers with JBL horns.
However, your choices are about endless...if you like EV, there are suitable horns from them too as would be the case for most speaker companies that make large format separate horn systems.
