I want someone to try that sub out!
We need a report on how well it works.

Yeah, I'm still curious about it. I'd like it for my computer. Of course, the Elemental Designs A2-300 is a lot more affordable, which I've been considering, and it might give me all of the performance I've been looking for in a computer sub.

Sean, believe me, the thought has crossed my mind. I heard that at the last CES show, other vendors were starting to come out with wireless technologies for the sub channel, just makes sense for placement issues.
My problem is I have 2 Axiom 350v3's and a 600 I'd have to sell first. I've never owned HSU subs.

That is really a tempting product which would certainly make this discussion moot. The hesitancy I have is that it is still a relatively new technology (wireless LFE transmission) and I would sure hate to miss the opportunity to do the in-wall wiring at this point in construction if it would prove inadequate.

Especially with the oncoming prevalence of multiple sub HTs, the wireless technology seems to be very advantageous. Couple wireless subs with remote tuning options and you'd have something special.

My experience with wireless anything hasn't been great, which makes me do hard-wiring as much as possible. But yeah, I would still like to see wireless technology take off as an option in subwoofers.

I've been following most of the threads on AVSforum and other forums, and current owners of the dualdrive or quadrive ULS-15 setups say the wireless works great and has no sonic difference. One guy said his kids Wii would make ONE click sound when he first turned it on, but selecting a different channel on the HSU sub eliminated that issue.

The only thing I'm unsure about is the delay (distance) setting for each sub. Since most receivers only have ONE preout for the sub, you would most likely have to average the distances of the 2, 3, or 4 subs. That is what I do now for my 3 subs.

Ok, the more I thought about the "y" connector to daisy chain an in-wall line, the more it began to make sense that you could possibly use the typical "Y" that most use somewhere in the chain as an in-wall application as well. With the common leg presenting at the wall plate for sub duty, the other two legs would serve as an input and output to the next terminal. You would just have to be sure it is well secured at the input and output legs, i.e. solder or heat shrink or both.
I think that would work for most AVR and pre's with a single LFE output. Now if you are addressing a unit with mutiple LFE outputs, you definately would need separate lines for each sub location. That would be a nice problem to have!
