Yes, it's normal. You can probably turn the speaker volume down to minimum before turning them on to minimize it.

Mackie 1400 SN:AH15857 Hot light on. Amp also works then goes quite then pops back on to normal.

Contact Mackie direct. They will know which component is failing. Link to the company for one of their powered speakers.

Hi there, my relatively new Mackie Thump wont power up despite being plugged in / on etc. When I do with it on all i hear is a very low pop sound every 5 to 10 seconds or so

Your best bet is to contact Mackie Tech Support. Here is a link to their Suppot page. Mackie Tech Support
it's likely it needs to go to a repair shop. Here is a link to their service center finder. Mackie Service Center Locater

Did you mean,disassembly the speaker enclosure?
Just remove the 16 screws at the rear cabinet, using a screwdriver.
Then remove the 4 screws that secure the speaker, using the hex key. Is the bass driver blown up / broke?

My Mackie Thump TH-15A will not produce any bass. I can get some sound but only from the top tweeter. Whats wrong and how can i fix this?

Could be the crossover has died or the main speaker winding has failed. Open her up and connect on side of the main speaker direct to a 9v battery and then wipe the other wire over the other terminal. If you get a crackling from the speaker then it's likely the crossover, if there is no response at all from the speaker then it is dead and possibly the crossover too.

My mackie thump amp will start to have a loud cracking sound. The cracking goes away if I have the input line unplugged from the speaker but with it plugged in it has the cracking sound and it does not...

Crackling is usally one or two things my guess would be bad grounding of the amp or bad connection with the jacks or plug it self try to make it crackle on purpose by jiggling the jacks see if it has any effect on the crackling try to narrow your possibilitys

How do i hook up my mackie mr5 speakers to my interface? Should i plug the cables in the trs (balanced ) section at the back of the speakers

yes - trs or xlr inputs will give you the same result, as long as you use the correct cables.

Make sure the mackies are off when you plug them in or you'll get a nasty thump. Equally, make sure the volume is down on your interface initially.
