You can take a feed from the 'Main Out' (not the speaker outputs) and feed that into any other amp. Switch off the internal amps if you're doing this and not feeding any speakers - not fair to have them 'open'.

have you an effects buss on this mixer, Paul?

if so, take a line level output from the effects send, and take this signal into your power amplifier.

connect to these sends, or make up a pair of XLR Y-Splitter leads if you also want to use these to send signal to the powered cabs

Or as Leigh says, just use the 'main out'. I do this on ocassion with a Behringer powered mixer and a pair of EV actives.
