Eden WT-600 into Eden 4ohm 210XLT?

Hello.

I just received this wonderful amp from a fellow tber and I'm curious as what is the best way to run this.

I have 1 4ohm 210XLT.

If I run in bridged mono won't I be sending 600 watts to a speaker that can only handle 350 watts? Or should I just use one side of the amp so it delivers 300 watts to the 210?

I'm a guitar player converting to bass playing and all this stuff has gone over my head. I appreciate any insight anyone can give.

Use one side with that cab, you will have enough power to drive it to its limits.

Agreed. You may want to consider getting a second identical cab. IMO a single 2x10 is insufficient to gig with.

Bridge your WT600 into a 4 ohm load and you'll release the amp's magic smoke....please read the manual regarding the minimum ohm load for bridging.

Yep, a WT-600 bridges into an 8Ω load only. If you want to run a 4Ω box, you need to only use one side (and get 300 WRMS).

+1 with everyone so far.
Those are great amps!
Another second cab option, rather than getting a second 210XLT, is to get a 210XST. The XLT/XST cab combination works really nicely IMO! A lot of folks have used that setup with great results.
