Eden D210XST

So, I can't ever seem to get this cab to sound the way I want it to sound. It's a 4 ohm cab and I push it with a WT400. I play URB with it, fretless and electric, too.
No matter what I do, I can't seem to get the honk out--or the low in that everyone seems to rave about. I generally run it flat with the exception of a little boost at about 150hz.
So, any help?

Thanks!

Oh yeah, I have an old CX 1015 cab and it always sound great. Smooth, warm, deep and round...

I owned a 210XST along with a 210XLT and eventually came to the conclusion that I really didn't like either cab that much on their own. The combo of the two was quite impressive and had a lot smoother of a tone with way more low end then my 4 ohm 410XLT by itself.

In the end, although the 210XST is an impressive cab on many fronts, it just sounded too lifeless to me on its own. Some people swear by them though.

I think I may be coming to the same conclusion. I've had it for quite a while and kept thinking I could get what I was looking for. I just can't seem to get it dialed in...

The 1015 cab really does sound great, and so does my Trace! It's an old 410 combo--a 1210T SMX. Heavy, but it sounds amazing.

+1...

Pretty much feel the same.
I tried Eden's 210XST's, I owned Eden's 210XLT's and 212XLT's, just couldn't get "my" sound from em'.
Went to two inexpensive Avatar 210 Neo cabinets and couldn't be happier!
