Can this sub be added to a Vizio 2.0 sound bar, for small to medium-sized HDTV's? If not, what should I get? For TV/Games/Music

The Vizio 2.0 does have a subwoofer RCA output. Buy a subwoofer RCA male-to-male cord (rec Mediabridge) and connect to the Polk's subwoofer input.

Yes, I use this speaker with my Visio 2.0 and a medium sized TV, and the results are great. Nothing needed except a cable with RCA plugs (a couple of bucks)

The (.0) describes the "sub" input. So you need an "audio, video amp"(AV amp) that is at least ".1 or .2"

I would recommend a sub and surround speakers. I use a sub and it sounds great. I also got the matching center channel which is awesome too.

As long as you have RCA jacks for your audio out on your TV, you can use this sound bar. There is no hdmi input on this sound bar, just RCA and Digital (optical) inputs. Hope this helps!

very good unit. it is made to boost the sound only. not a surround sound. be careful that your tv has the proper audio ports. my 60 in samsung does not and it does not take a sound bar. i tested the sound bar with vizio support and it works great. very good unit for the price.

I stongly recommend a sound bar. The sound from the TV is quite inferior. It made a huge difference for me. I bought both TV and the sound bar here.

I have an Onkyo 6.1-channel 3d bluetooth soundbar w/subwoofer paired with my 55GA7900. My room is slightly smaller than yours (by 2 ft, at the most), and that sound bar FILLS the room with sound. I was a little hesitant to even purchase a sound-bar at first considering I'm so used to the traditional 5.1 set up with the actual 5 speakers, but when they say 6.1, that's no joke, truly does a fantastic job of re-creating a true 6.1 surround experience. Subwoofer kicks major bass, it's adjustable (which not all sound-bar subs are), and it's wireless, which is a major plus. I would strongly recommend that one.

No the size of the sound bar is irrelevant what counts is the quality of the sound. My HD TV is a 55 works just great. Go for it!

This sound bar will work with the your tv just fine. The only issue I have had with mine, was that sometimes my tv gets out of sync with the bar, as it doenst have a digital out. For the money, this is a pretty good setup once you get everything situated. It will be a bit longer than your tv. it is about 6 inches longer on both sides than your tv.

I would highly reccomend a subwoofer. It adds that extra quality of sound. While my soundbar has subwoofer in it , it doesnt compare to a subwoofer added. Go for it!

I do not know the answer to that. I do know the sound on board is not very good. So I see why you want a sound bar.

No. A sound bar is a step up from the speakers on the TV, but still no replacement for actual speakers. A small amp and decent bookshelf speakers will blow just about any soundbar out of the water. Soundbars are about convenience and ease of set up, not so much about sound. I helped a friend put one of these up (without the sub) and it sounded better, but not great.

If I understand the question you will have multiple devices hooked up to your TV via HDMI and you will use an optical audio cable to connect to the sound bar to play sound from the TV. Yes, the sound will play fine. I have the same set-up for mine. You just need to make sure the "function" is switched to "optical" on the sound bar to have it work.

You did not specify a model but all the newer Vizio sounds bars have a Toslink digital audio input. You need to look up your model to make sure.

No sub, just the bar. It works well but obviously you don't have the bass like a sub would offer. I may get a bar with a sub later down the road and maybe move this bar to the tv in the bedroom.

Fair. I put a polk 9000 soundbars on mine because of the application I am using it for. Another one was sold to my father in law and he has no sound bar. No complaints.

I too have a VIZIO 55 LED and was disappointed with the tonal qualities. I had an old subwoofer from a previous Sony TV which I hooked into the audio outputs. Set audio output to variable and it adds just enough bass to make it sound good.
