    Make a great system out of affordable components:
    This sound bar has very clear and well balanced upper and midrange. No need to adjust those levels. Other reviewers noted that the bass is lacking, but that's what you should expect and that's exactly what I was looking for. I have a wired subwoofer that I like, so I wanted a sound bar with an RCA subwoofer out. Very few still have this option. You're just stuck with the wireless sub that they come with. I got a 150watt powered sub at the thrift store for $5 (a steal) to go with this and I'd say it sounds like a $200-300 system now. Sub volume follows sound bar volume perfectly. I ran a long cable to the sub (25ft), through the crawlspace to the back of the couch, by using an old piece of coax cable (cable tv type) and some screw on RCA adapters for the ends. You can get crimp ends too if you have the compression tool. I get no static on the bass signal and it shakes the couch during movies!I mounted the sound bar at knee height and I get good room filling sound without loud spots when standing next to it. That makes it good for a party music too.The wall mounts leave just enough room to run cables behind and into the wall or up to the tv. Adjust the mount buttons a 1/4 turn out until they drop all the way into the cleat without too much force. If they are screwed tightly into the sound bar, they don't want to go all the way in. Only one good sheetrock anchor or stud is necessary per bracket, the other can be a wood screw just barely tightened.The inputs are a really nice feature too. Both coax digital and optical digital in is a nice touch that others don't have, plus 2 different analog inputs, AND a really good bluetooth connection that connects quickly and sounds as good as any other source.Without an LCD display, it's a little tricky to get set up, but the manual is good enough. Once set up, the lights are extremely unintrusive. Only 1 dim led remains lit after a volume change to indicate that the unit is powered on.
