I am about to buy some Eden cabs...

#23
Make sure they're the XLT versions of the cabinets. A D410XLT is a much different cabinet than a D410T. The "XL" means extended lows, and the D410XLT is the common Eden 4x10 that lots of people love. A regular D410T (the "T" BTW, means tweeter) rolls off the low end a LOT faster than the XLT, and doesn't have the same midrange punch that folks either love or hate. Same applies to the other cabinets. So, look at the cabinets- if they have slot ports on both the top and the bottom they're probably XLT, otherwise they're probably XL (I've never seen a XST in the real world, so I don't know what they look like). Also check the input panel on the back. It'll have the model name written on it, including the impedance. "D410XLT-8" means a David series cabinet (D)with four 10" speakers (410), the extended low end cabinet desing, (XL), a tweeter (T) in 8 ohms (-8).

Too bad all companies don't make the distinctions between cabinets so clear.

They're not the XLT version, but for the price I paid, I'm not complaining. I'm more of a midrange kinda guy anyway.

Do you own a WT800A or is it the B or C? It you own the A version do not use the bridged mode if you are using both cabs.

I actually have no idea what letter my World Tour is. I got it from L&M used and I never saw a letter on the end of WT800... I'll check when we my band jams tonight.

Is this because of too much power being distributed in bridge mode or something?

Yeah I've already checked them out and they sounded great. Picking them up and forking over the cash tonight.

Thanks for the support guys!

If you like them, great - they are EASILY 15 years old, possibly older.

It's been established that they're not. The D series, I believe rear ported, very small cabs for the speakers that are in them, quite boxy sounding, esp the 4x10 by itself, and that cab is prone to cone failure if you push it too hard by itself or without the 15 and in biamp mode.

They are frickin' heavy...good price, though.

Don't try to get a ton of bottom end out of that 4x10 or you'll be making frequent trips to get them fixed.

Cheers,

XLT: Three rectangular ports, top and bottom of the cab; lower-midrange 'hump' that a lot of people either love or hate.

XST: Three rectangular ports, bottom of the cab only; higher power handling, voiced 'deeper' but lacks the mid bump the XLTs have.

Since the 10" cab in the picture lacks any porting, I'd hazard a guess that those are the D410Ts.

I'm in need of a 15" for my rig as I need it for the B string. I don't want to be picky about the 15" I want to buy but since i have a eden 410xlt I kinda want an eden 15" to match it up with.

The thinking that a 15 will handle a low B better than a 4x10 is seriously flawed. Most production 4x10s will actually go lower than a 15. Adding a 15 will limit the abilities of the 4x10. A 2x15 is a better match for a 4x10.

I have a question. I have a 800 watt Eden head and an 8ohm 410XLT. If I get another 8ohm cab, what is the best way to wire it? I assume I can run it mono bridge and daisy chain the cabs?

Read my post #20. It depends on what version of the amp you have. I am assuming you have a WT-800. Do a search over here to find out what model you have.

The guy I bought them from said that the guy who he bought them off of purchased them new in 2003. I checked their manual online and they were selling identical ones to mine so I'm not really doubting their age.

Unless he was lying, but he seemed like a truthful kind of guy... if that has any credibility.

not unless they were old stock...I think they discontinued them years ago...may be wrong. They have been around for at least 15 years.

Anyway, you certainly got them at a good price. The 4x10 new would have been $1200.00 or so, and the 15 about $700.00.
