How much does the wireless subwoofer interfere with 2.4GHz wifi? Also, how well does it sound with a plain, old two-channel stereo input?

doesn't interfere with my 2.4 router or phone. bought this for my parents as well. had to hook it up directly to the tv instead of the cable box. not quite as good as mine with the hd dvr box

Probably time to upgrade your sub. Most receivers use a lfe port to connect your subthis unit doesn't offer high frequency connections for subs. Only to your speakers.

I have the same model. Unfortunately, it's not wireless. But, I will say that it is a very nice sounding subwoofer with plenty of thump. I've had mine for almost three years now and haven't had any problems with it and it's been put through some pretty rough abuse from my electronic drum set.

I use my Marantz to drive B&w; 805 nautilus with a b&w; sub woofer. Sounds pretty good to me. Hope this helps

I've been wonder this very same thing and thought I would provide a link to the article regarding not using the subwoofer port. I'm not sure if I understand it, but here it is : http://www.polkaudio.com/education/article.php?id=19

That never seem to present as a problem. The 4 wires represent 2 pair (+,-) for left and right channels, and I just wired it to the same external speakers in parallel I have with my sound system. I have found the same result if I had wired an amplified subwoofer to my outputs either through the dedicated subwoofer channels, or tap into the speakers themselves.

I can't see all sides of the wireless kit, but i would assume you just have to run a short RCA cable from your receiver to the transmitter, and another from the receiver to the sub input. If that's the case, it should work with pretty much any subwoofer with an RCA input...which this sub has. I hardwired mine using 2 RCA-coax adapters and spool of coax which allowed me to locate the sub in a corner behind my couch.

Many soundbar systems with wireless subwoofer seem to suffer with interference with wireless router. I understand that this JBL system has a way to do wireless pairing between the soundbar and the subwoofer, but does it actually change wireless channel to avoid interference?

It sure will. The wireless subwoofer is a completely separate entity with its own power source. You turn it off and you just have the two front speakers. You turn it on, and it starts pumping the bass via a wireless connection.

I do get some interference, in the form of slower throughput, but separating the control box from the Wi-Fi-equipped computer helps significantly, as does forcing Wi-Fi onto channel 11.My base station is NOT near the speakers, but testing with them at least in the same room didn't show much improvement. In some cases they might "see" each other and pick non-busy channels. Different routers might behave differently, too.Bottom line - they're great speakers, but the Wi-Fi interference is a major flaw in something aimed at being PC speakers!

No. The speakers sounds great. problem with wireless speakers. The neighborhood i live in has a fair amount of wifi networks. I Cusomized my wifi signal boost and channels to work very well. I have a lot of just over 1 acre to give good distance between my home and the other networks. i have this speaker set connected to a Samsung LED 86inch smart tv. I mounted it to the wall and all my stuff sits in a shelf around the corner. the wireless speakers only have to shoot wifi signal about 15ft. The wireless speakers cut in and out like crazy. During the Superbowl my guests complaints forced me to unplug them all together. what a nightmare for someone who takes a lot of time perfecting my devices.

Dear Jamie, Excellent question! The subwoofer is both wireless and has its own amp. Please let me know if I can be of additional assistance. Regards, Eric Cohen World Wide Stereo

I placed my amp and wifi adapter in my garage because I use the system outside near my pool. My wifi router from my service provider (Bell Canada) is located insie the house near my back door. I am not sure of the issues with adding two more speakers but I think you should try two first. I also bought the system expecting to add more speakers, but the system is pretty loud and my neighbors are sufficiently upset when I play the system with just two speakers. The sound is great and quite loud.Paul

Only the sub woofer is wireless. The sound bar has several options for different types of inputs. I use the Aux and HDMI.
