Thanks for all the responses. Before I read these comments just now, I got back from the music store where I played the Eden 2X10 XLT through my amp. I wasn't thrilled with the quality of the sound: loss of bottom. I'm keeping my 4x10 Eden xlt for now. I was going to trade in my 2X15 Peavey...

I have the opportunity to buy an Eden xlt 2x10 cabinet at a good price. It would replace a heavier Eden 4x10 cabinet. If I would be putting out 250 watts via my amp, out of either cabinet individually, would I be sacrificing anything terms of overall sound? the 2x10 total wattage is 350 at 8...

Thanks! helps a lot.

I have an old empty Peavey 2-15 cabinet. Just bought new 15 inch speakers that i want to install. There is existing wire in the cabinet, but it's old. Not sure how old. If a want to replace it, what is the appropriate speaker wire to buy? Is there an appropriate gauge I should be using?

Hi: Is it true that if you want to match cabinets, they should be close to equal in wattage or else one cab will overpower the other? I have a 450 watt head at 4 ohms, and a 700 watt cabinet at 8 ohms. I want to get the full 450 watts of the amp by adding another 8 ohm speaker, but does it have...

Thanks Burning Skies.

I'm looking to purchase a custom 1-15" cabinet at 200 watts RMS (400 peak), 8 ohm, and match it up with a Eden 4-10 cabinet. Both cabs are 8 ohm and will hook up to my Ampeg B2RE at 450 watts 4 ohms. I can't find an affordable 15" Eden. The 4x10 I bought used at a great price. I've read about...

Thank you everyone for your replies. In Bassman Paul's answer, he mentions shielding. Can Paul or anyone else explain what that is?

I get a strong electronic buzzing sound when I plug in my Rickenbacker 4001 into my Ampeg B2RE (playing through Eden 4-10 cabinet). Rick doesn't have active pickups. When I plug my Guild Pilot bass with active pick ups into the amp, there is no buzzing whatsoever. Is this normal with active...

Hi: Did you pick the Eden xlt? If so, was it the 4x10 at 700 watts and 8 ohms or the one at 4 ohms? I just bought a used Ampeg b2re and used Eden xlt at 8 ohms. They sound great together, but since the b2re is running at 250 watts at 8 ohms right now because of the 8 ohm cabinet at 700 watts...

I bought a used Ampeg B2RE head that runs at 450 watts at 4 ohms and 250 watts at 8 ohms. Currently, I'm running it through an 700 watt at 8 ohm Eden cabinet with 4x10s. Playing the system for the first time with my band, I noticed the limit light on the amp was lighting up frequently. Is this...

Technically, my first bass was my older brother's. It was a white Univox that looked like a Fender strat, but in reverse. That's what I learned on when I joined my first real good band back in 1979. What was funny was that the guitar player in the band also had Univox. Same style, but his was...

OK. This is my first day on Talk Bass. Give me a break.

Thanks, James.
