Connecting combo amps into cabs?

I went to go see my friend's band perform (THOU SHALL KILL)
and I saw that the guitarist had a Marshall AVT100 combo on top of
a Marshall Cab.... Is there another way I could do that without having to
spend alot of money. Because I need something with more than 80 watts

He could do that because the AVT100 combo has a line out. So get a cheap combo with a line out and a cheap cab. Or get 2 cheap 50 wat combos and buy a signal splitter.

ummm... no.

Line out will never power a cab. If you want, you can use the preamp out, run that into a power amp, then that into a cab.

Or, as the AVT100 has, you can use the speaker outputs which are designed to power cabs. The Marshall AVT series is one of the only lines that I've seen use this for combos, and I'd put money on the fact that this is what your friend was using.

Anyway, wattage really doesn't matter. A 100 watt amp will only be twice as powerful as a 10 watt amp, and if you need more volume, increasing wattage is not the way to do it. On the other hand, 4 12" speakers will move more air, and will increase your SPL (sound pressure level), and will expand your sound much more.
