So I'm getting an ampeg portaflex pf-800 which supplies 800W ...now the speaker i have home is 100W. Can i use this together or will it cause damage to one of them? what can i use?Only 800 w amp with a 800W cab? What if i'm going gigging and take the head with me do i have to know what the speakers of the venue are?

Knowing the wattage handling of the cabs is better than not knowing but at the end of the day you can only use ears to control levels to prevent damage.
That's a huge disparity. What speaker are you using?
Like these guys said, if it sounds wrong it's probably too much power and you need to turn down. Listen for a farting or flapping sound and try cutting your lows. I always turned the bass down to 3-4/10 on the PF amps .
