New bass rig...need help setting up :-/

[kirbicle]

Hey guys,

I just bought two Eden 410s, one is XLT and the other is just 'T' along with a WP-100 pre-amp and WT-1000 amp head.

I would like to set up using only the 410XLT (700w - 8ohms).

My WT-100 does have a port for mono bridged mode, but I just want to be sure i'm not going to blow anything. Does any one have any recommendations? I am a complete newb when it comes to this stuff, btw. Here are pics of the rig and how i THINK I can run it.

Well, i turned it on and didn't blow anything. Can I use another cord for the other channel? and run it in stereo mode? Any pro's/con's to that ?

If you're in bridged mode, you're running both channels into one, so no, you can't run a third channel that isn't there. Obviously it's fine to run both channels together in stereo/parallel when you want to run both cabinets, and you'll still be louder, despite the wattage "loss" in each channel.

Just be careful with your volume control running in bridged mode and roll back if the speakers are starting to strain, you smell smoke, that kind of thing.

Nice rig, by the way

Since it will run in 2ohms for each channel, you'd be hard pressed to fry anything.

two 4x10s should make a whole lotta wind...

I wasn't worried about the amp, more the cab running at 900 W bridged.

Right, that is my concern as well...keep in mind I plan to run only one of these 410s. I understand how to run both together, but I just don't want to fry anything runnnig just the one. I'm also trying to get the best sound out of running just the one.

As long as you're careful with the master volume, there won't be a problem. I'd suggest running the single cab both ways and see what you like.

Why are you only wanting to run one? Stack em up and let it roar!

I wouldn't sweat it, personally. I run 1450w bridged into a single 600w cabinet. I don't push it very hard, but it gets plenty loud. Head room is a beautiful thing. Just remember, if you hear anything that sounds odd, back it down.
