aj5string Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Hi all, I have an Eden WTP900 and love how it sounds. I don't however, really get my head round the power & can options the head has. It also has a switchable system to run different power ratings, and speakon connectors that show this to further complicate matters. Have searched online, but, even Eden don't seem hugely clear what It can do... So, could anyone advise what would be my best can fit? Single 4 ohm? 2 x 4 ohm? 2 x 8? Alex.

aj5string Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 I've done some research,and had some really helpful input,and the long and short is that the 2 main options are; 2 x 450 @ 4ohm Briged 900 @ 8om So - one last thing I could do with some input on - what if I run a 4ohm cab in briged mode? I know it specifies 900w @ 8ohm... will it just still put out 900w? Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teebs Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Hi @aj5string @Frank Blank is very wise & might be able to help you. I'm not familiar with this amp, so hesitate to give dodgy advice I think your amp has a CYCLE button to select through the speaker possibilities - it lights up red if it's incompatible. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure it would have died if I had carried on. I would not recommend it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's no way to talk about @KiOgon (who will know about these ohm thingies)! Sorry - I misread! 4 ohm requires more power from the amp than 8 ohm, so the amp will have to work harder - and as @Rich says, will probably start to get hot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aj5string Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 Cool - cheers for the input gentlemen! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teebs Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I'll see if I can find the manual for your amp tomorrow & try to work out what cabs will work. At work at the mo & the b*&tards are making me do work things - then rehearsal tonight, but I should have a bit of time tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aj5string Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 Its cool - the general consensus is that the manual is not particulalry helpful - despite the clever lights on the back! Think I know where I'm at with it - its just finding suitable cabs now - need an 8ohm cab that can take a lot of punch, or 2 4ohm cabs - both of which seem to narrow the options quite a bit! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
