No no no no no no no.

A cabinet is only as powerful as it's weakest speakers. A cabinet with four 25w greenbacks is going to be rated the same as two 25w speakers with two 60w Vintage 30's. It would still be the same even if it was two 25w speakers with two 10000w speakers

Telling people misinformation is one thing, but this type of typo he could be blowing his shit up.

A 100w cabinet with a 100w head is fine, just don't turn everything to 10 and you should be alright.
