Reddit reviews GLS Audio 3 feet Speaker Cable 12AWG Patch Cords - 3 ft 1/4" to 1/4" Professional Speaker Cables Black 12 Gauge Wire - Pro 3' Phono 6.3mm Cord 12G - Single

No that is definitely not right and it's a 1/4" plug.

Speaker cables are typically 12 gauge because you're pushing voltage.

That said, a 1' cable is going to have to be a custom thing.

You could always buy a 3' cable at a GC or local shop and ask the tech there to cut it down for you.

If you can solder, it's an easy DIY job.

Damaged equipment question.

Here is the equipment I was using:

The cabinet got really screwed up, and now makes really shitty noises at even relatively low levels.

Question is why? Was there something improper about using this equipment together?

My friends and I were jamming. He was playing bass, and was playing it too loud. Eventually it started making shitty noises while he was playing. Just played it again - and the cabinet is shot.

So, in my opinion my friend screwed the cabinet up. Its my understanding that no matter what equipment you are playing if you play it too loud it can screw it up - i.e, don't just assume that if your cabinets specs should be able to handle the amp that doesn't mean you can play it as loud as you want. Similar to if you you are listening to a stereo you will screw it up if you play it too loud.

Unless I am missing something and the equipment I had should never be played together. Our other friend we were jamming with was of the opinion that my friend isn't responsible at all - since in his opinion I must have had equipment that should not be used together.

I did research before buying this equipment and I thought that each component would work safely with the others.

Any input would be appreciated.

I got this and it works fine. https://smile.amazon.com/GLS-Audio-Speaker-Cable-12AWG/dp/B004Z2H07K/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1519941297&sr=8-2&keywords=guitar+speaker+cable

Don't splurge on some expensive or super thick cable. As soon as the signal hits the jack in the back of your speaker cab, it's going to travel through a very light gauge wired to the actual speaker.

Both are 1/4" (not Speakon) so I'd say one of these:

I don't think you're going to find a right angle cable without making your own. Right angle instrument cables are all over because they impact your playing/comfort. Speaker cables on the other hand are off in the back and stay untouched, and unseen.
