The SVT b-410 hlf cabinet handles only 400 watts and its normal impedance is 4 Ohms.. the head (SVT 450H) you're specifying is rated at 450 Watts when using a power output of 4 Ohms.. So (if anyone else knows otherwise, please correct me) I'd say they are not compatible.. = no.

The SVT 450H (head) can have a max output of only 275 Watts, but only when using an output of 8 Ohms of impedance, but I'm not sure if that would work correctly with the cab's normal impedance of 4 Ohms. Anyone else know about this?

if you can, just run a cable from the head to the in-house PA system if there is one at that venue.
you have far too much time on your hands

so in 4-omh the head is 450 and the cabinet is 400
YES you can use them together, but do not turm the volume to the maximum.
to be shure that everything is ok, put the volum misximun to 7 out of ten

you can use your head at volume(power or whatever to call it) of 400 watts and your cabinet would be happy :)
