If you are rattling the Speakon loose while playing bass, your cabinet is not braced properly. The old "Twist Lock" design would encounter such a symptom however, the latest versions should not.

Was packing away at the end of a night, gave a cable a damn good tug as I thought they were all unplugged. Only half a speakon was retrieved.... oops!!

You wouldn't want to get your power/speaker leads mixed up either.
