I like how the guy probe the wire for voltage...

I don't need no stinkin' meter.  .
One of the plant electricians I worked with 40 years ago would tap a live wire between his pinky and thumb, then depending how high his hand jumped tell you if it was 120, 208, or 277/480 volts. DO NOT DO THIS!!!

My grandpa had extremely dry skin. He would work on his electric fence barehanded.

He said he just felt a little tingle. Anyone else was knocked on their butt if they just touched it.

He worked on 120v live, too. The outlet in the barn (8 feet from the hay storage area) had no fuse. The only way to kill the power was cut the wire or pull the meter.

I worked in construction with an electrician that did that for 30 years. Until the one time it hit him on the exact wrong moment in his heart rhythm.

Check at about 6 minutes on how to properly connect the power to your sound system

Well executed KF850 clones. The text here says all you need to know. . .

Only thing harder than the first guy pulling powers the second guy pulling power. . .

and in Part II they break out the voltage stabilizer. . .replete with a fresh coat of paint. . .

The live sound company I worked for years ago used to do production for Ziggy Marley. I recognize that same EQ curve...

Only wimps need a roof to stand on when tying in power.

[Stephen Swaffer]

You never see any old guys doing that...wonder why?

That picture seems to show insulators indicative of higher than 120/208v power, but the guy's presumably sweaty shirt is apparently not zapping him, so must not be.

Agreed - doubly deadly - if you aren't electrocuted, the fall will probably kill you.

There's a phrase to describe situations like this.

Natural Selection!

Naw.  That EQ is serving as band pass to the subs.
