If both cabs are 8 ohms then the power draw will be the same across both of them, in theory, Mr Lowend...

Wattage is a power value so it is the "total" of the sum of the two...
I'm trying to think of a good analogy... two differing value filament lamps on the same circuit... one is 60w the other is 200w... you know which one will be brighter and will use more power as a given... no need to think about it... you also know that something that "kicks-in" causes all the other things to "dim" slightly on some "closed" circuits... ie a house...
Crudely speaking it is the same with speakers, but with some speakers (hifi) you need to have balancing circuits to make it all work, just so...
About 30 years back I was running a pair of beaten-to-excrement Sound City 4x12 columns with my DR103 and the sound was just... so... perfect...
There was this Ampeg SVT 810 in the studio that was up for sale and I tried it with the Hiwatt - sounded terrible...
Some stuff works... some just don't...
PBG is definitely the best guy on the site for the specifics of this so if I've strayed or if he has a better analogy I'll happily defer to his expertise...
