If you’ve ever run into the problem of needing serious bass in a spot with no power outlet, you already know how frustrating it can be. Outdoor weddings, backyard parties, or a quick pop-up set—those moments usually mean compromising on sound. Mackie’s brand-new ThumpSub GO finally changes that. This is the first truly portable, battery-powered subwoofer that lets you bring the low end anywhere, no extension cords required. Also shown above, Mackie Thump GO & Mackie ProFX10 GO.
Why a Portable Subwoofer Matters
Today’s performers are more mobile than ever. One night it’s a wedding, the next it’s an outdoor block party, and on the weekend maybe you’re DJing on the beach. The problem? Traditional subs are heavy, they need power, and setting them up isn’t exactly “grab and go.”
The Mackie ThumpSub GO is designed to solve exactly that. Slim, portable, and totally battery-powered, it makes pulling off those crowd-shaking drops possible anywhere you set up.
Under the hood, the Mackie ThumpSub GO delivers serious performance in a portable package. With a frequency response as low as 32 Hz and a peak SPL of 123 dB, it pushes deep, punchy bass that fills out any mobile setup. Dual custom 8" woofers are powered by a 400W Class-D amplifier for efficient, distortion-free output, while Bluetooth® 5.4 streaming makes it easy to connect wirelessly. Two combo XLR/TRS inputs plus dual XLR outs give you flexible routing in stereo or mono, with full-range and high-pass output modes. Add in hot-swappable lithium-ion batteries for up to 12 hours of playtime, lightweight 41 lb design, and built-in protection features, and you’ve got a road-ready sub that’s as tough as it is powerful.
Power You Can Take Anywhere
The first thing to know about this sub? It runs on batteries. One GB-200 battery comes in the box, giving you up to 6 hours of playtime. Add a second (sold separately) and you’re looking at up to 12 hours of nonstop bass.
Even better, the Mackie ThumpSub GO has two hot-swappable battery bays. That means you can swap in a fresh battery mid-set without ever losing sound. For anyone running an all-day event, that’s a total game-changer.
Slim, Ergonomic Design
Mackie clearly built this with mobile performers in mind. The design is slim enough to fit in tight spaces, and the built-in ergonomic handle makes it easy to carry like a briefcase.
Placement is flexible too—you can run it horizontally or vertically depending on your setup. And at just over 41 lbs, it’s light enough to load in solo without killing your back.
Connectivity That Just Works
The Mackie ThumpSub GO makes it simple to build out a complete portable system. Connect up to two powered loudspeakers directly to the sub for a stereo or zone PA setup. Want to stream wirelessly? Built-in Bluetooth® keeps the whole system linked, no extra gear needed.
Of course, it’s optimized to pair with the Mackie Thump GO battery-powered loudspeakers, but it also plays nicely with the Mackie ShowBox or pretty much any portable PA with up to a 10" woofer. There’s even a threaded pole mount if you want to keep your rig tight and professional.
The Sound That Moves You
Portable doesn’t mean weak. Inside, the Mackie ThumpSub GO packs two custom 8" drivers powered by a 400W Class-D amplifier. That translates into rich, punchy bass that fills out smaller speakers and gives your mixes the depth they deserve.
You also get pro-level features like high-pass and full-range outputs, plus a phase inversion switch for system alignment. In other words, it’s not just portable—it’s a legit performance sub built to handle real gigs.
Where It Shines
This isn’t just for one type of user—it’s built for anyone who needs serious bass on the move:
- Mobile DJs: backyard parties, rooftop sets, beach events
- Musicians & performers: acoustic acts, buskers, small venues
- Event pros: weddings, ceremonies, corporate pop-ups
- Everyday users: anyone who wants deep bass without dragging out extension cords
If mobility is part of your setup, the ThumpSub GO belongs in your kit.
The Mackie ThumpSub GO is built to lock in seamlessly with Mackie’s other portable powerhouses. Pair it with the Mackie Thump GO battery-powered loudspeaker for a complete wireless PA system you can take anywhere. Add the Mackie ProFX10 GO for professional-grade mixing on the move, and you’ve got a fully mobile rig with zero compromises — bass, clarity, and control, no outlet required.
The Mackie ThumpSub GO makes it easy to bring low-end power anywhere. With swappable batteries, Bluetooth streaming, flexible design, and the punch of a real subwoofer, it’s a must-have for DJs, musicians, and event pros who don’t want to compromise on sound.
Take the bass on the road with the Mackie ThumpSub GO and be gig-ready anywhere.
