For a surround sound system, I bought in-wall front speakers. Should I also buy the in-wall subwoofer or will this item provide the necessary bass?

I bought this and it works well. You will need to by an amplifier for this subwoofer if your receiver does not have one specifically for a subwoofer. I bought the Bash 300S Digital Subwoofer Plate Amplifier 300W RMS from Parts Express. I works very well with my surround sound. Be sure to secure the speaker grate. The putty they send you does not work so well. I used silicone to hold the grate in. It will vibrate loose if you do not.Hope this helps

Any true surround system has a sub wether it's inwall or out all depends on where the location is, I believe it's choice in or out wall but to have a sub is necessary for true surround

this is a center channel and provides highs only. you do need a sub. we recommend a powered sub, not an in wall sub.

if your receiver does not have a dedicated subwoofer outlet then you will need a special wire. it's RCA to speaker wire, and it's kinda pricey for a wire. you would have to tie into the left and right speakers, or maybe even all sides of the surround. the quality might be diminished since it's trying to push all the frequencies through the speaker, and not just the lower bass frequencies. heres a link to the wire you would need.

I have the 7.2 system but did not elect to have 2 subwoofers although the room is 22'by 18' with 20' ceilings.I believe it would give you a full sound.u could just buy the single sub,try it out,then buy the second.

Thanks for the reply. I see your point about hooking the sub through to the main speaker outs and then to the L/R fronts. I guess that would be pushing it quite a bit. Thanks for the tips on the powered sub. At $80, I can't really go wrong. One last thing: If I wanted to forgo the rear speakers, could the sub be hooked up to the surround outs or am I letting my complete ignorance show here? Thanks again.

We have a sub woofer so I cannot say how it will sound without one. I can say the sound is great with the subwooferP.S. I just installed a new Bose Lifestyle V325 System that came with a new center channel speaker so I will be posting it for sale on Amazon soon.

You'll need wires for the rear speakers if you want to put them in a surround sound set up, any wire will do, no need to spend a lot

No, you should buy this. You have a mono RCA out on the receiver, I'm assuming. Running a mono RCA cable to either the "L" or "R" will result in you not getting full range of sound from your subwoofer. Connecting the mono cable to this splitter will allow the subwoofer to produce the full range of sound from whatever source ou are using.

Depends on what you are using them for. If you are just listening to music on a 2 channel system, no subwoofer needed unless you just prefer a more robust base. If you are using in some sort of home theater set up, then I would definately recommend a subwoofer.

The bass for this small sub, is actually rather powerful. Obviously, it depends on your set-up where you place your speakers. I have my two satellite speakers on each side of my monitor, with my subwoofer under my hard-wood computer desk. It's in the corner. The bass performance is great for movies, and excellent response with music. You can't go wrong with this system, I haven't had any problems with mine.And i'm sure you'd be able to connect to your TV, via adapter cable if nothing else.

I need to clarify something on my last answer... There are no built in subs in these speakers. They have dual 6.5 inch ported woofers. The low end sound they produce are more than adequate for my needs. If you choose to add a separate sub to your system, I feel you won't need much as this model of speaker carries the low end quite well

If you are using these speakers for rear surround sound, with the lower/bass frequencies sent to your subwoofer, you should not have a problem. If you are using them for stereo playback for full frequency music...just remember...what you hear on the room side of the speaker (woofer) is what you are going to hear on the backside. Depending on how loud you play them, it may pose a problem. Also, putting a layer of insulation on top of them in the ceiling, will NOT help much or if any.

Two things to note. Where and how you installed them. If they don't have a deep door panel or deck then you bass will be lacking, and it could. Be the deck or amp settings. Also you need to be aware that 3 way, 4 way, speakers will not deliver the sound of separate ttweeter, mid range, and bass speakers. If you're looking for big bass then you probably need a subwoofer.

no. the bass is crisp. you don't need a subwoofer. it will shake your home. with the 180watt amp, its like buying a stereo rather than a speaker.

I use these speakers for my front left and right for surround sound. They sound great and look great mounted in the wall.

Ideally all front speakers, Left, Center, Right should be the same for optimal performance. Using the OWM3 as left/right main would work, and probably sound OK. I disagree with a previous comment on deficient bass response, as the very low frequencies would be handled by the sub/LFE channel with a powered sub. I would select "small speakers" on your 7.1 reciever for the front speakers when setting up your system- this will send all lower frequencies(>120hz) to the sub channel.

I have an SVS sub paired with mine. I use them primarily for home theater, but I listen to music as well. They sound really good together. I've never really used the speakers alone. I do not think it's too much bass. If so, you could always dial down your sub a bit.

This is a complete speaker system, ready to connect to your amplifier/receiver. The front speakers are bookshelf types. The sub-woofer rests on the floor.The rear speakers will require some type of mounting device for wall mounting. All the connecting wiring is included and is plenty long.
