Not sure about combining them, but I once rescued a high power Tesla X-Ray 
Coil that was being used mistakenly as a Jacob's ladder.  (The insulation 
would have self-destructed if this was stunt was continued)

If the output of the coil is hot enough, you can get it to act the same way 
as a hot low frequency arc.  The one thing lacking is nice humming/buzzing 
sound -  Jacob's ladders are a lot easier on the ears that a Tesla Coil 
powerful enough to do the same effect.  Maybe I can make a quick movie of 
one as an example...its something great to see and horrible to hear.
