100 watts is not much and you risk clipping that amp
Keep in mind clipping the amp is what can smoke a loudspeaker
Keep a close eye on distortion or any clip lights coming on
Personally I would go with something more like 300watts per channel
into 8ohms
Heres what you could do
Run out of the mixers mono out or one side left or right
Run that signal into ONE side of the xover input
Use ONE side of the Altec amp for BOTH bass bins
Use ONE side of the Altec amp to drive two of the Yamahas as mid cabs
Use left channel of the 100watt amp to drive another Yamaha
Use right channel of the 100watt amp to drive another Yamaha

xover points subs/150hz and set the mid freq on the xover to 800hz

So basically your gonna have a sub with a Yamaha on top of that upside down with the horn down. This will be your mid
Then you put another Yamaha on top of that mid cab with the horn up
This is what you do on each side

You will have to Y the signal together into the 100watt amp for the
highs from 800hz up
Basically your gonna triamp in mono
It will work fine
