US, 4th of July holiday, 8 hours later and you stumped everyone. Sure that's what you did.

Unless you have a different version or I'm not getting your question, going monobridge on the SVT-IV pro should be as easy as plugging into the "mono/bridge" output and pressing in the "mono/bridge" switch.

you need the speakon to 1/4 cable that comes with the head if you didnt get call the person that sold it to you

On the amp end of the cable, the speakon is wired 1+ hot, 2+ return.

On the cab end of the cable the speakon is wired 1+ hot, 1- return.

DOUBLE CHECK to make sure I'm correct. It should be printed right on the back of the amp and on the jack plate of your speaker. If I recall correctly, this is the only way to get bridged output to your speaker.

Also, if I recall correctly, my SVT4 sounded better running the left and right power amps into the top and bottom halves of the 810 respectively instead of running bridged into the full cab. YMMV

Check on page 12, derridiandrift is correct:

As far as the cab goes,

It looks like the only connector for "dual mode" is the top left 1/4".

The extra speakon on the bottom is just to daisy chain, as on any cab. As long as you come from the bridge mode connector on the amp, either speakon on the cab should work.
