Eden 410XLT???

But what if I run the cabinets in series?
According to the manual that should make it an 8 ohm load and since I have the C model then the output would be just as much as with running one on either side. But I have heard that with running in bridged you get a fuller sound than in dual mono.

How do you propose to run them in series? You're going to need a special cable. Daisy chaining them is running them in parallel. With an 8-ohm load in bridge mode you'd get 880 watts, the same as if you ran the cabs in stereo. I've never heard that bit about it sounding "fuller" in bridge mode, and I seriously doubt there's anything to it. I ran my WT-800B both ways and couldn't discern a difference.

+1.

Electrical current behaves just about exactly like water. It flows where it can and pushes as much current through each passage as physics allow.

There's no "fuller", there's just how much power the cabinet gets in a given wiring situation.

Apart from all that, I think the OP may be overthinking this a little.

I have a Eden D410XLT 4-ohm to sell or trade for an Eden D410XLT 8 ohm cab

Ooo. Bad karma. You have to be a supporting member to advertise things for sale. And this is the wrong forum anyway.

If you run the cabs in parallel in bridge mode, you'd have a 2-ohm load. You can't run the amp bridged into a 2-ohm load without serious risk of a meltdown. However, you could run it in stereo with a 4-ohm cab on each channel and have plenty of power. If the WT-800 is a B or C model, you'd be getting 440 watts into each cab, which would be mondo loud..

Now, if you're talking about running in bridge mode to just one cab, you'll have 1,100 watts at your disposal, which definitely could blow your 700-watt cab if you're not careful. I've run that pair like that many times, but the instant you hear the cab start to distort, you have to turn the amp down. Right now I run a 900-watt amp into a 600-watt cab with no problems.

Question for you? I recently bought a budle that consists of a eden wtx 264 that came with a 410 xlt 4 ohm cab.
I bought this with the intention of running the cab with my wt-800 C series from 1997. I thought it was a great deal at $900 for both and since i was getting a new cab anyway, why not? Unfortunately i didnt think to look at ohm ratings until it was too late. Can I use this cabinet with the wt-800 just using one channel not in bi-amp mode or should i return it and get the 8 ohm model and use in bridge mode?

Thanks

First, are you sure the WT-800 is a C model? If it is, you can bridge at 4 ohms for 1,100 watts (be careful). But I didn't think the C models were out in 1997. Does it have Speakon outputs? In any event, you can drive the cab with one side of the amp, no problem. If it's a B or C model, one channel will put out up to 440 watts - 400 for the A model.

The back of the amp where the date is says 800C no speak ons just 1/4 inch jacks.
My main concern is I dont want to do any damage to the amp or cab from not running the right load

That's an A model. It may have been upgraded to C specs since it says 1200 watts, but the actual C models have Speakon outputs. If it has been upgraded, it presumably could be bridged into 4 ohms. You should contact Eden to see if they have a record of upgrading that amp. At one time, that could be done for $400.

In the meantime, run the cab off one side of the amp until you find out and you'll be safe.

Thanks, I do remember sending it out to the Minnesota plant to be serviced. Not sure if they did the upgrade then. If I remember right the amp was cutting out. I'll contact them and find out though. Thanks for the info

I had an Eden 4x10 XLT that I ran a Trace Elliot GP12 XML and a 32 band EQ, with a Yamaha 18" sub. That stack was the most thunderous monstrosity ever. I NEVER turned that head above 2 without getting complaints that I was "overpowering the drums". The Eden 4x10 XLT is, for my money, the greatest bass cab ever crafted. Damn, now I want to go drop a couple grand and recreate (ish) my old rig. Gods, though - that SOUND. SO heavy, SO clear - from dropping B's to noodling away at the top of my six string, that cab knocked out some GORGEOUS tone.
