Hey all, I am thinking about trying to find a used Eden WT800C bass head. My question is what do they mean when they say 1100 watts bridged at 4 ohms with a minimum of 3db of headroom? I have a 2X12 Dr. Bass 1000 watt 4 ohm cabinet, is this cab a good fit for the Eden head? Thanks for any input.

That combination will work quite well!

The 800 is a stereo head- it has two amps. You could run cabs off each side at lower output per side or "bridge" the two sides together for more output- like making one big amp. 3db headroom means the amp can handle a power spike twice the given watt rating. That amp and cab combination should be great together.
