What ohmage are the speakers in a Eden 210XLT 8ohm ?

I think my most surreal moment is having got on stage at a festival gig, ready to go on, viewing the world through spiral eyes after much local cider & stuff, sound checked my vibes and k'bang...wrong band.....oops....we were on in another hour and i realised this was not my band...needless to say their bassist had the fear and the rest of the band egged me to stay on...i knew that was the moment i needed a lot of water or something to sober oneself and go hide myself, change my appearance, repent etc etc!

I've got a lovely Markbass Jeff Berlin combo-very light & loud but have recently got some Ashdown cabs at a bargain price so i plan to use the Jeff Berlin head (LMII) with the ashdowns or i've got an old Eden WT800A which i'm becoming rather fond of again.

I'm quite partial to Lindy Fralins personally...although i'd like to try some Villex one day

[quote name='dave.c' post='640390' date='Oct 29 2009, 07:05 PM']Your 8ohm 4x10 and a 16ohm 2x10 will give you 5.3 ohms I think, the same as a 6x10 cab which seem to be nominally labelled at 6 ohms. according to Eden this is ok with a WT800A.[/quote] Ah cool, i used to run a 6ohm Warwick 6x10 into the Eden and thats when it was at its best for headroom. right 2x10 hunt its...quite fancy an Eden actually.

[quote name='dave.c' post='639705' date='Oct 29 2009, 08:20 AM']I use a WT800A bridged into an 8 ohm Eden410XLT and a 16 ohm Eden210XLT (which i bought as a 4ohm cab and rewired) so in effect I have a 6x10 cab with all drivers getting an equal amount of juice, this works really well and I can just use the 410 if I need to. doesn't really help with your 1x15 though I suppose, but it is loud! Dave[/quote] Thankls for the replies guys...yeah i think ditch the 15" and get and 2x10 4ohm and wire to 16ohm...i guess that will give me 8ohms right? 'Your two cabs in parallel (daisy chained) together give you 4-ohms so you could put another 4-ohm cab in series (you need a special cable for this)' Where would i get series cables? Lx

Ok here goes, I have two Ashdown Mag cabs a 15" & 4x10", both 8ohms. I have an Eden WT800A with a bridged output running 800Watts at 8ohms. Now i know when i link the two Ashdown cabs together i get 4ohms but i need to somehow get 8ohms . Now i want to use both cabs as i need at least 500W with head room on stage (yes i know its bloody loud but i'm playing with some reggae guys where bass is everything + they/we have a monster soundsystem which the drummer puts his Roland TD20 through...and is quite possibly the loudest electronic drummer i've ever played with-turning down is not an option!). So can i get 8ohms doing some weird and wonderful wiring, if so how? Could i add another cab, say a 2x10 and magic a total impedance of 8ohms from somewhere? I can even goto 6ohms if needs be coming in on the Eden but unfortunately not as low as 4ohms. Eden unfortunately no longer do the tech mod on these amps that they were offering many moons ago whcih converted the bridge out put from 8ohms @ 800W to 4ohms @ 1200....if anyone has info on this mod i'd like to hear. Also if i put a multimeter, on resistance, across a speaker would it show the ohmage of that speaker i.e 8ohms or 4 ohms etc...actually i think that's a silly question as it impedance right? Help the dyslexic electronics people here...even though ironically i studied electronics at 17 but slept most the time

Never thought i'd find a use for this photo, i'm mother superior (check the stockings-now that's scary!) who's fast asleep as usual Actually i have a big Halloween party with the same band this weekend...yay

Very nice, bloody pricey though-i could do with something like this right now!

My wife is a mental health social worker and i am her full time client as a muso , she accepts that bass is mainly my world but compromise comes at jamming along with X-Factor (family time its called apparently)...but playing along at low volume levels of course...with the odd slap note and cheeky grin ....and telling her every bass purchase is a bargain, investment, medication etc etc
