Curiousity about wireless

snake1

Anyone know if the wireless transmitter for subwoofers ex. pro660wi, will work with 2 wireless subs in the room? I'm thinking it would and it be really handy with a big room and easy sub placement. Does anyone know?

Thats a great question. A buddy of mine has the same subs. I'll give him a shout to see what he knows.

I don't know the answer to your question but I'm sure Polk tech support could help you. I called them with a few questions before I bought the DSW PRO550wi wireless 10" sub and they were very helpful. One thing they did tell me that I think is worth passing on is that the wireless feature doesn't work that well if you have a lot of 2.4 GHz (ie. wireless router) interference nearby. I actually use mine wired, so it wasn't a concern of mine. Also, love pretty much all aspects of this sub. :cool:

I'll get in touch with them about it soon! Thanks teekay about the router info!! Thats how I have my internet setup so that could prove to be a problem. Hmmm.

In my line of work (associated with wireless microphones) we have found a personal wireless router is not enough to really create interference with 2.4ghz wireless systems. It is usually in places with very high saturation of 2.4ghz material. You should be ok if it is just your own personal unit in your house. If you are in an apartment complex where alot of your neighbors have wireless units and the complex has its own for example you may experience some issues.

That makes me feel better! Thanks VR3! That wireless option has real potential especially if it'll carry 2 subs! I sent a message to tech support to see if it will or not. We'll see what they say.

Another thing to note... if the wireless unit and your router are in close proximity that will also increase the chances of interference...

I am sure CS will take care of you

Well CS said that you would need 2 of their transmitters to run 2 subs and as a side note, they need to be 6ft apart. Well, you could run one wired and the other placed wherever in the room and run wireless.
