Welcome to the forum.

It is always helpful to include the model, so we know what you are talking about.

But Phantom power is something that ONLY affects the mic input jacks. It is a vry low current 48v supply that feeds the mic itself. For that reason it has zero to do with connecting the mixer to the amplifier.

Between a mixer and the speakers, there must be a power amp. If the Behringer is a "powered" mixer, then there is a power amp inside the mixer, and jacks on the back marked either SPEAKER or POWER AMP OUT. If it is just a mixer, then you need to run cables from the main out of the mixer to the INPUT of a power amp suitable for your speakers.
