Eden Hook-Up. Need help.

[nkossnar]

Okay. I'm getting the WT800 in a couple days and I want to know how to hook it up properly to my two Eden cabs. I have the discontinued D410T ([Invalid or Expired Link Removed])
Which I THINK is 4 or 8 ohms. But I'm not sure.
Then I have the D410XLT ([Invalid or Expired Link Removed])
Which is 8 ohms.
I have old cabs so they only have the speaker cable hook ups. So I'm not sure what cables I should use to connect them. If anyone could run me through this that would be really helpful.

Set the 800 to dual-channel mode. Not biamp. Not bridged. Hook one cab to each channel output. Each channel of the 800 can drive either 4 or 8 ohms.

Use the Balance control to balance level between the cabinets.

You can use standard 1/4" speaker cables, or you can buy Speakon cables. A good place for the Speakon cables is Link Removed, but his lead time is a few weeks. Speakons have better contact than 1/4" and they lock in place.

Later, if you find the older cab is also 8 ohms, you could bridge into 4 ohms, but it's still probably better to use dual-channel mode. In bridge mode, you can't balance the cabs.

Caution: Never change the biamp or bridge switches with the amp running! Also follow directions to avoid having the two switches set the wrong way.

I know it's already been mentioned, but for the love of god, make sure you use speaker cables, not intrument cables. It's important enough to repeat.
