I have this very same soundbar, it does NOT have a physical output for a subwoofer, the only way to add a subwoofer is to buy their "add-on" subwoofer that pairs wirelessly with the soundbar, the P/N for such subwoofer is SWA-W510 and it has been consistently at $299 everywhere.

Trust me (bro) when I say that there's no bass on this soundbar*, it's advertised as a 5.0, no subwoofer, and that's exactly what it is, NO bass.

My regular TV media consumption does not require bass, so I'm satisfied with the purchase since it integrated seamlessly to my Samsung TV through HDMI Arc and I can control the volume with CEC on the remote control... If you are buying this for a different setup, I would Google a bit to see if your TV gives you CEC through Arc on your specific TV model, otherwise pairing through Bluetooth defeats the purpose of having 5 channels, you are better off with a 3.1/2.1 TCL soundbar.

Back in 1965, I could buy a hamburger for 25 cents.

Took several tries to get it to discount to $99 as it kept erroring out and saying my account does not qualify even though I did the verification process earlier. Just need a decent sound bar for the bedroom TV as I use HomePod minis but they occasionally have issues if you use other devices connected to it.

I got this a few months ago and use this a computer speaker it's been great!! The sound quality is rich and does have BASS. Whoever is saying no bass, they have no idea what they're talking about clearly my desk is shaking. It's not as powerful as 5.1 system since it's integrated and not a stand alone.

Also they gave me a $25 credit on my next order since it came dented on the side from shipping, with that being said.

Is anyone interested in this $25 off coupon I have? It expires on 4/26/23 and I have no use for it.

I'll let it go for a few dollars.

Thanks

I bought it last time it was on sale to use as a PC speaker. Sent it back right away. Didn't like the sound and the lack of bass was obvious. You can't fool the laws of physics- anything bass needs to be large. For compact soundbars it means a separate subwoofer.

How does this compare to the TCL Alto 8+ that is the same price?

Gotta disagree. I use a Whirlpool Coolvox and Sonos Beam as pc speakers and they sound fantastic with plenty of bass, especially the Sonos.

For anyone take the $135 deal, it was very easy to price match through live chat.

You're absolutely not joking about this, and it works seamlessly without any modifications? I've scoured the Internet high and low trying to find the truth regarding this, I've heard mixed opinions but mostly that in theory it should not work.

I will purchase the sub right away if you're first-hand experience is 100% true. Been holding off for months because of the uncertainty.

I can guarantee you it works, it's made to work with last gen s60 sound bar. I have it at home. It took me forever to pair it. I thought it was volume up to pair but it's actually the "selector circle thing" up for it to go in pairing mode.

I bought this the last time it was on sale for $100. For its size, it is nothing short of amazing! I am using it with my LG OLED 65" B2 model and it pairs seamlessly using the HDMI Arc connection.

Before COVID, I could buy a 5 speaker set with subwoofer for only $30 after rebate.
In case no one pointed this out...this isn't pre-Covid. Also, bargain basement speakers might work for your use case. Other people may want better sound.

Got this sound bar during black Friday and it works well with my 2022 Samsung TV. It has a small foot print which worked well for our needs. It was $200 then. And the subwoofer was $200 and the rear kit were $100.
