This thing is TOTAL TRASH.
It has a slight delay, even with simple analog aux, especially to the trash wireless "subwoofer".
"The crossover is screwed up" this is an UNDERSTATEMENT. How can I describe it... with the bass all the way down, the "sub" is still too loud and while it plays lows (sh!tty "mid boomy" lows) it passes everything else thu, and kills everything coming from the bar. If this thing was free I *might* use it over a cheap TV's internal speakers with the sub unplugged. (okay I take that back.. no I wouldnt)
Im hardly an audiophile, but I do have some exp with both expensive (generally nice) and ghetto fraken-setups.
Its almost worth eating the $50 as a loss just to take this thing out to the field with baseball bat office space style... almost.
Return line here I come! Its already re-boxed and sealed, basically looks new (not that the Walmart people would notice/care)

Looking at the spec of this device there is no HDMI-ARC in so your TV MUST have either optical out or RCA. So beware here. If this is a problem look for a sub with HDMI input.
I have the Alto 7+ it is a major update. I think I paid like $85 for it refurb very nice. The sub pairing process can be a bit wonky but once its done no problems.

I was never able to dial in the dub so it doesn't muddle dialogue. It was awful and returned instantly.
