Eden 210, Acme 410. Questions

Sign in to disble this ad
So, this is my first time running more than one amp. I plan on running them in bridged mono, 8ohms each, 4ohms together. Tracking that far. So, the acme is a power hog, so does it pose a threat to the eden if I run about 1400 watts to meet the 700 watts that the acme requires? Would it be more benefitial to run them stereo, or if I run them in mono, which should be the first link in the brigde-chain?

Or am I freaking out over nothing? I honestly don't know what my Eden 210XLT can handle, and she's been with me from the beginning. Literally the first bass equipment I bought.

Is it just a bad idea to run mismatched cabs bridged together?

Or am I worried about nothing?

The two sound amazing together, complement eachother perfectly, so I would hate to split them up.

I don't actually have a power amp to run them yet, but it's the next thing on the list. I would like to ensure I'm getting what I need.

thanks for the help, guys.
Michael

Michael, IMO trying to run ANY commercial cabinet along side an Acme is a mistake. The Eden will be louder than the B4 but will be unable to compete with the lows the B4 will put out. I suspect the Eden will fail.

To gig I use the B2 in pairs. I own four but usually juts run my original pair in a vertical stack. Feeding them with 350W each I have never needed more. I currently have replaced all my pre/power rigs with a Carvin Bx1500 (it's sooo much lighter). One per channel this gives me 450W per that I'll never use all of. I feel that 1400W is too much however others will disagree.

Bottom line I'd just use the B4.

Myself and Zooberwerks did an A/B, with a few different preamp/power amp setups with these two cabs, and they sounded beautiful together. The Acme did claim the stage when I was riding low, but as soon as I pulled the higher strings, the Eden lit right out, the two together made a powerful team.

I don't plan on overpowering them, I don't know wattage as well as I might should, but I use common sense when I've got them before me. I wont crank anything that shouldn't be.
