I have a pair of Mackie 12a Thumps and my cabinets to them are kinda beat up and rough looking so was going to paint them. what is the best way to do this?
Thought about taking them apart but not exactly sure how to.

Is this a new problem? In other words, was it working correctly at some point?
You ned to isolate the problem. Plug a different source into the speakers and plug the mixer into a different amp/speaker. See which part isn't working correctly.. Either way, it's likely you need to take the part that's not working to the shop. You can contact Mackie to find the nearest service center. Service Locator Mackie
Sounds like a problem with the horn amp in that cabinet. This is not a user fixable problem and needs to go to the shop. Here is a link to the Mackie support page where you can find a link to the repair shop list. Mackie Tech Support
Do the protect lights light up when you turn it on? There is a soft start circuit that should delay for about 3 seconds when powering it up, it sounds as if this is not working. If you don't get the protect lights for a second or so when turning it on then this has failed and you need to get it serviced and repaired before more goes wrong.
There is a step by step description in the manual of the Finex3000 itself (incl. pressure set-up, etc...). In case you don't have it anymore, you can look online: http://sprayfinishingstore.com/manuals/
Unfortunately there are two standards for the pole diameters. Some of the smaller poles have caps to accomodate the larger brackets. First thing is to measure what you have for poles and the two sizes of mounting holes. Many of the mounting bosses are standard and available online here is an example:
1)Clean the heat sinks on the amp on the back of the speaker, 2) carefully remove the amp from the rear of the cabinet and look for 'crispy critters' on the circuit board. If you see 'um, either take the amp to a service center, or go to your dealer and get him to order you a new one. 3) if you're goin' thermal, either get higher powered speakers, or tune it back a bit with these. I have a set that has run years in a dance room with no problems. If you are stretching the system to cover a bigger audience, think about another pair.
