The power for your headphone output on your combo doesn't come from the amplifier, but rather the pre-amp. It has a very low signal. Enough to power the small speakers in the headphones, but not near enough to power a full size cabinet. Do you have any money to spend on a head? There are some fairly inexpensive options out there.

wut can i do until i get my head? just let it sit there?

Probably. You really can't use it without an amp. Even if your combo had a speaker output, I doubt if it would provide sufficient power for that cab. PM me. I have a new inexpensive head I need to get out of my garage.
