Mixed a band at a new club in town tonight and saw this. How many gigs til this falls on the almost brand new X32 below it? The worst part is there are 3 fly points on the top of the box that would make it a little less dangerous than flying by the handles. I know a KF300 weighs 100 pounds so it's not if its gonna fall but when will it fall. The line array rigging was just as bad but I didn't get a photo of it.

Granted, the handles are not rated for rigging, but they show no deformation or deflection, and are back mounted.
I'd put money on the club closing before handle or cabinet failure.

I am sure it was installed by somebody who called themselves an "expert"----------------------------------------------

And they probably have many more installs just like that. I hope their liability is paid up. OH-do they even have insurance????????????????

But wait, there's more. To the left of the speaker, there seems to be some black pipe suspended with threaded rod and split rings. I wonder what the rating for that is, oh gee, a quick google shows that it is rated for 180#, so when you derate for a safety factor, well maybe it's ok.
