Wireless subs make no sense. Subs can be placed anywhere in the room, it is not like a surround speaker that must be to the side or behind.
8inches is too small to get low frequencies anyway.
makes perfect sense, you can put the sub next to or behind the couch or wherever, and you don’t have to run wires…kinda the point.
also good if you already have a wireless system sans sub.

He’s saying it isn’t necessary, though. Why put it by the couch when it’s not a directional speaker. It should fill the room with sound, so it doesn’t matter where it’s at. In other words, just put it next to the source. (TV, sound system, etc)
I purchased one of these from Woot a week or two ago, with much reservation. I’ve never known wireless speakers to satisfy me (a perfectionist but maybe not quite an audiophile), but I thought I’d take a chance on this as my wired Polk 10" sub took a dive a few months back, and my wife hates wires (even ones run in a track along the wall).
And to you smart guys saying you can put a sub anywhere: just wait until you get married.
I’m very pleased with the speaker and the wireless functionality in my set up. I am just using a subwoofer (mono RCA) out from my receiver to the transmitter, and it works great. I did have to move the transmitter a couple feet away from my wireless router, but it’s fine now.
Adding to my recent woes with Woot! lately is of course I paid 10% more 4 weeks ago. Not a happy customer lately.
EDIT: for clarity
Sure hope the Mrs. doesn’t read this !
By the way, how comfy is your couch ?

BOCs aren’t necessary either, but we know how much people HAVE to have them!
I sure could use another sub on my system. but Can’t dish it out on this. Wife has medical bills coming up soon
Still waiting for a x-arcade dual control for 60 & I will not hesitate.

36Hz barely qualifies as a woofer, let alone sub-.
Wireless subs make a lot of sense! Bass is non-directional, so you could put this out of the way behind a couch or in a corner under a table…
A wired sub is tethered to it’s source.
8" is plenty of size for bass, technology has been around for quite some time…
Did you just appear out some kind of time portal from the 80’s?
Get with the times, get with the times!
Newsflash: Some cellular telephones have cameras!
