What external subwoofer seems to be the best to use with this soundbar?

I have and use an AR (Acoustic Research) sub-woofer and have had no problems. I use a separate off/on switch to turn on the sub-woofer, use it sparingly. Dave...

There are settings that can diminish the subwoofer effect but turn it off completely,no.The subwoofer has a subtle effect to begin with,don't let that be a sticking point preventing you from purchasing an excellent soundbar.

I ended up ordering the SC HTB520 Sound Bar with the Wireless Subwoofer from Amazon for $252.95 to be added to my new Panasonic Viera 55" Plasma TC--P55GT31 (bundled with Skype camera, Blu-ray, pair of 3D glasses, and Avatar). I'll know in a few days if it was a good choice or not.

Hello. No, you will need an external amplifier to properly power a subwoofer.

The soundbar only has preset eqs and 3 level of subs. It doesn't have separate bass and treble settings. It's all presets

I would say any subwoofer you would like to use would work (as the subwoofer connects to the receiver regardless of the speakers) but as the other answers say, some may be better than others.

Absolutely, I do! I have mine wired to a small Monitor sub. Make sure you let the soundbar know that you are connecting a sub, there is a setting for it on the menu.

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.

Mine came with a separate usb speaker. I don't recall whether it was called a subwoofer or not, but I do seem to recall something along that line. As you can tell, that wasn't really important to me. I purchased separately a set of good quality usb speakers that I use whenever I'm watching something where sound is really important. I think it also depends on what features you loo for when you're deciding what system you want. The unit I purchased had the features I wanted and I'm very happy with it

Paul, not directly, there are a couple options.. if the subwoofer is powered then you need to buy a Sonos connect and plug the subwoofer into that and then pair that in your settings to your playbar the other option if your subwoofer is not powered you would have to purchase a sonos connect amp and do the same thing, I have done both of these options in my home and they work very well. The sonos connect is half the price Of the sonos sub, you could look at it that way :-)

No issues here either. I have a 29" Visio sound bar that looks good and fits nicely between the front legs of the quadropod" TV stand. The included Toslink cable hooked up well to the TV optical audio output. It sounds much better than the PN64H5000's internal speakers, really improving dialogue which was hard to understand before. For serious listening I kick in my 7.1 receiver but this is great for casual use.

Hi Paul, I think you would need a Sonos connect or connect Amp, to set up your sub woofer with the playbar, these cost nearly as much as the sub woofer itself...

My Denon has a RCA style Mono Subwoofer output which I used a high quality RCA "Y" splitter and then used Two RCA to 1/4" mic into the Subwoofer. Sound is unreal...esp with a blu ray movie! :)

It depends on what environment you are using the speakers in. AV receiver? Man cave? Bar? I can be more specific with more information.

Hi Mark, The sound bar is its lowest price ever right now. Normally $269 now $199. Performance is the key here. Tons of connections that you normally see in much more expensive units like optical, digital coax, SD input, USB, and Bluetooth connection. An FM radio too! Large easy to read LED display. But I think it is the magnets and cones that are of much higher quality than what you may normally see out there. Having 6 drivers in the soundbar and an 6.5" sub is a great combo. Finding all these things together will have you looking in the $500 + price range, not the $200-300 range.

In general, a subwoofer does not need to be immediately near the source speakers. I have mine about 10' from the soundbar, which of course is under the TV, and it seems to work very well.
