Blown speaker help Mesa Subway 112. RESOLVED

What are you using for an amp?

 

Warranty?

Even if no, contact Mesa before doing anything. You never know. They might want to look at the driver for an OEM evaluation.....

 

Give customer service a call and explain the situation.

 

I would contact Mesa and ask for their help/advice. They are outstanding when it comes to customer service and you may find it's covered under warranty depending on the circumstances surrounding the cause of the failure. Mesa gear is pretty bulletproof when operated within its design envelope, but failures do occasionally occur in every product line. Good luck!

 

Excellent, easy fix.

You would be surprised as what can end up in a cabinet. In addition to the usual dead rodents and bugs, I have found black widows, scorpions, bits of guitar strings, nuts, screws, weed, tools and all kinds of stage debris.

 

I recently bought a cab from a different mfr that had a spade connector to one of the drivers disconnected. I thought the speaker was blown too. Did the same as you to find my issue. I love an easy fix.
Glad you're OK.

 

Unless you were working on Peavey cabs finding Black Widows and Scorpions would be beyond disconcerting, the rest of the stuff seems benign enough though.

 

Somebody somewhere is still wondering where their stash went.

 

I knew I put it there - I just wanted to give Andy a tip for good service...

 

I'm sure!

I was servicing a large format touring console maybe 25 years ago and it had to come out of the case. Found some blow in a zip lock baggie, and a bunch of chick's phone numbers. Some days!

 

So did you ask the boss for the rest of the week off?

 

Isn't that the epitome of the 'good old days!'

 

How did you know it was "blow," as compared with baking soda or any number of other white powders?

 

It's not polite to ask. But since you did the old taste test is always first............................. Or so I heard................................... I really wouldn't know...

 

When I was a tech at a music store that handled 10 school systems, a Kustom bass combo came in for repair from a WI middle school. As I was inspecting the amp, I pulled the velcro'd grill and a used, florescent orange condom fell out. We all had a good laugh, and when I wrote up the repair ticket to the school, among the repair details, I added "Removed used condom from behind speaker grill."

The head of my dept was ready to ream me out and make out a new ticket, but then thought about it, and decided the school should know what their students are up to, and left it. He told me he left the ticket as I wrote it.

 

how did you know the condom was used?

...

don't answer that...
