Amp or No Amp · Play Better Bass

Amp or No Amp

I’m fairly new to playing live. I think everyone has an image of what playing on stage would/should look like. And I always had an image of a full stack on stage behind me. After playing a few shows and hauling those two 410 cabs up and down my stairs I’m starting to wonder what the pros and cons of having amps on stage are. I have an IEM system so I don’t need an amp for monitoring. Are they good for filling the front of stage sound? Like filling in the gaps between the PA speakers? Posting a couple pictures from recent gigs for visual reference.
