Help needed w/ Bridged Mono and Speakon Cables

My power-amp for bridged mono operation requires SPEAKON cables wired for bridged mono connection and I cant seem to find any speakon cables wired for this mode of operation. Any ideas where I can get these already assembled. Would rather not be cutting and soldering cables. I need speakon on one side, and 1/4" on the other side. Thanks.

The standard speakon plugs have a set screw for holding the wires into the contacts. You'll need a pin-out.....

update
Be sure to wire the Speakon on the "amp" end for +1 (positive) and +2 (negative). On the "cabinet" end wire the Speakon for +1 (positive) and -1 (negative).
in your case that is plus on the tip and minus on the chassis

Thanks for everyones help on this. One last question on this. How do I open the Speakon plug to make the changes? Does it twist off like a screw, or some other method? Cant seem to get it open.

unscrew the blue collar from the black body and the whole thing pretty much falls appart.
