CARVIN R1000 Head and Cabinet ???'s

I just bought a CARVIN R1000 III amp head and a CARVIN 410 cabinet with the RED Horn. MINT CONDITION!!! How do I hook this up and get the FULL RANGE out of just the 410? Can it be done? I understand how to Bi-Amp it, I have a CARVIN BRX 18" sub cab too.
I have GK 700RB head, and a FENDER RUMBLE 150 head.
110 cab, 410 cab, 118 cab, 118/210 custom bi-amp cab.
6 string fretless and fretted

Turn the bridge switch on, turn biamp off, plug in cabinet to bridged full range output. Rock.
My brother, I just saw this response, 5 years after you posted it. TY, and you are correct. I have a few more CARVIN pieces now, a BX1500 210 combo, for sale at RAMONA MUSIC in Ramona, CA. And another 410, 118 stack, with another R1000. And a custom sealed 210/vented 118 cab(Bi-amp able). Last year in 2023 I did and outdoor 4th of July gig and stacked a 410 on top, had a 610/118. Separated flesh from bone.

I buy GLARRY inexpensive Jazz 5's and replace the P/Up's with a better PJ set. A Chidowsky! Afraction of the cost of a Sadowski... the Chinese one is $1000, the USA version is $4k+. These costs me around $200 in materials. The hardest part is hand cutting the pick guard. All curves. New unique P/Up hole. New Bridge too. Ernie Balls. Sound is unreal! The neck p/up is half the width of one of the pieces(1/2") closer to the neck or farther from the bridge. That slight difference phattens the sound just a bit, and the combo of the 2 is wicked! The J Body is more comfortable than the P to play standing up. The neck is angled up easier on a J than a P because of the offset waist. It's Jazz, man!
