PLEASE READ THE ABOVE QUOTES ^
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)

However, I actually BOUGHT this item and when I try to leave a truthful ( 1 star) review warning people I get this -
"The user trying to submit review is opted out"
Anyway, don't get this the bass is non existent and the controls don't do anything.

In my experience on Slickdeals...audio deals get a huge range of opinions. Typically audiophiles will complain about anything that's not a gazillion bucks and that doesn't require hours of professional wiring/installation. But I digress.
I have a low bar here (improve over the default TV speakers) so hopefully this won't be as bad as some of the comments suggest. I do have a TCL TV and have been happy with it. Again - I could spend 2-3 times as much for something better, but TCL seems to server the needs of most of us peasants pretty well.

Is it easy to use and operate? Some comments hear started that you need to use its own remote to change the volume. This would be very inconvenient.
