Mesa Subway 115 cab strange noises???

Check that air isn't escaping through the speaker connectors on the back of the cab. You might also play with the grill off to rule it out.

That can't happen with this cabinet, the jacks are sealed.

Unless a small rodent chewed though the seal.

In this case, the seal is flat against a glass-epoxy PCB. It would have to be an awfully big, hungry rodent.

Make sure there aren't any cellphones in close proximity.

You can always message me and I will help you get this resolved.

I fixed two stripped screws on the handle plate and put a subway 210 on top and so far today I haven't heard any odd noises other than random shaking of things in my house. At some point today I will solo the 115 in another room and see if I still have an issue.

You were right. It was, in fact, a cat toy mouse. I didn't even know it was in the room. Squeaks only on the lower D#'s. Thank you.

This is a good example of why thorough troubleshooting is so important. Identify the cause and often the fix is trivial!

That is why I'm very disappointed with Sweetwater wanting me to pack that up on my dime. They didn't listen to that audio sample or spend one second on troubleshooting. On the bright side, my 115 now has a 210 friend. If I have any questions about my TT or cabs I'm just reaching out to Mesa and/or posting it here.

That is not my experience at all with Sweetwater. They've always sent a replacement item, asked me to put the bad one in the new box, tape it, put the return label on it and call FedEx for pickup. How long after buying it did you contact them ?
