I started a thread a while back asking the same question.

Where can I get short speakon cables?

Turns out they are very easy to make yourself! No soldering required. I just bought a set of four connectors on Ebay then went to Home Depot for the cable. Total cost for two complete cords was less than $18.

Redco will custom make a cable for you- you choose the cable, connector and specify the length. If you go this route, you will still spend less $.
I would recommend the Redco brand 12/2 wire over the more expensive ones they offer.

If you are inclined to assemble your own, this is a great source for bulk supplies.

Redco IS great. I've bought from them for the past couple years and they're always very quick and easy to work with. Have a lot of options too.

They're as easy to make as ice cubes (which you can also buy ready-made), but a hell of a lot faster.
