Review on Ignite Pro Speakon Gauge Speaker by James Hova

TL;DR: Cables were improperly connected, causing permanent damage to the amplifier and speakers. The internal cables have also been loosened and the Spycon connection lock is weak. MAJOR quality control failed. Me: A professional audio engineer with experience in electronics. I know what I am doing. Technical info: When I first used it, we could only get sound from one monitor all night. It turned out that this was because the end of the speaker was loose and didn't snap properly into the connector. I had to twist the wire to hold it. The second time I used them, I got the right channel from both monitors but the left channel from neither. Mysterious but looks like an issue with the amp so I spent hours in the amp just to make sure it was working properly. On a whim, I undid the ends of a cable only to have one of the twisted wires slip out. The screw was not tightened! Next thing I found was that the wires inside the Spicon connection were connected to the wrong pins (2- and 2+, not 1- and 1+). Since most amplifiers can optionally use all 4 pins to output both channels on the same cable, this meant that a monitor with a bad cable was getting the wrong channel. This also meant that I ran at 4 ohms all night instead of 8 ohms before, which is very bad for the amp. THIS IS NOT A MISTAKE CABLES SHOULD MAKE. If the connectors are connected incorrectly in any other way, it can damage the speakers or even CAUSE ELECTRIC SHOCK OR DEATH! I can see that most reviewers had no issues with these cables, but this quality control failure is serious. when working with live electricity and expensive equipment. If I were you I would stay very, very far away from them until they improve their quality control. Please buy literally anything other than these if you are not a professional gamer.
