The Mackie Thump18Sv4 is a 1400 W active 18-inch subwoofer built for DJs, bands, and event crews who need serious low-end weight under their PA. Reaching 25 Hz and 132 dB peak SPL with selectable high-pass modes and stereo XLR I/O, it delivers the floor-shaking impact electronic music, hip-hop, and full-range live shows demand — available at Soundium.

18″ high-performance woofer: Pressurises rooms with response down to 25 Hz.
-
Selectable high-pass modes: Thump 12, Thump 15, Thump GO, and Variable (80–160 Hz) for one-knob tuning to your tops.
-
1.4 ms alignment delay: Phase-coherent integration with Thumpv4 mains across all HP modes.

Customer Benefits
The 18″ Thumpv4 sub is the heavy hitter of the lineup, designed for the room sizes and material that demand real sub-bass extension. The DSP modes and alignment delay take the guesswork out of crossing over to your tops, while built-in handles, an M20 pole socket, and a defeatable LED keep load-in fast and the front panel clean.

Use Cases / Ideal For
Mobile DJs, club nights, mid-sized live bands, weddings, festivals, corporate events, and any production where the low end needs to reach down and out — not just polite reinforcement.
Compatibility
Designed to pair with Mackie Thump12v4, Thump15v4, and Thump GO mains via dedicated HP modes. Variable HP works with any third-party tops between 80–160 Hz. Stereo full-range outputs let you daisy-chain a second Thump18Sv4 for serious low-frequency arrays.
Pros & Cons
✅ Pros:
- Reaches 25 Hz with authority
- Plug-and-play crossover modes for Thump tops
- Stereo I/O streamlines cable runs
- Defeatable LED for low-profile use
⚠️ Cons:
- Single 32 kg cabinet — two-person lift is wise
- Overkill for very small rooms; Thump15Sv4 may suit better there
The Mackie Thump18Sv4 is the heaviest hitter in the Thumpv4 family, turning a compact PA into a full-range, club-ready system — available at Soundium.
