If you can prove that the speaker was defective or installed wrong, the you probably should sue. You are entitled to recover what ever you can prove that you lost.

Recover what? And from whom? Anytime someone causes you damage and you can prove it and show real damage you can sue and recover. The question is always can you prove it? how? And if so, what is the dollar damage and finally is it worth the trouble and time and expense?

If the technician negligently installed it, then yes. They will have to admit liability or you will have to get another technician willing to testify it was negligently installed.

The cable company will have a receipt showing the work that was done, so you will have proof of the fact, and if the fire occurred shortly after the installation, you should be able to recover for the fire damage. The cable company more than likely carries insurance to cover such events, so submit the claim to them.

If you can show that the fire was a result of the speaker installation, you may have a basis for recovery.
