Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Mackie’s ThumpSub GO is a battery-powered portable subwoofer with two 8-inch low-frequency woofers and a 400W Class-D amplifier. Its two battery bays accept hot-swappable lithium-ion batteries; one GB-200 is included, and the stated runtime is six hours per battery or up to 12 hours with two. Bluetooth 5.4, two combo inputs, two XLR outputs, stereo or summed-mono operation, and selectable high-pass/full-range modes make it practical for compact PA setups. It can stand vertically or lie horizontally and has a built-in top handle.
