Adding a sub to the poor speakers in the TV itself is not a very good arrangement, IMO. Poor speaker sound with bass amplified??
You might want to try this for relatively inexpensive but excellent sound: I have a Sony 52" LCD/LED TV and added a pair of Audioengine 5 powered speakers. These have a line out to attach a separate subwoofer if you want, though I feel I really don't need one since the Audioengine 5's have excellent and deep bass (-1.5db @50Hz and usable bass into the 30's).
The above works from the analog outs of the TV and works with the TV remote on and off and volume up and down just like the built in TV speakers.
I feel I have real high end sound, unlike the sound bars. And the Audioengine 5's are $325 with all connections and cables supplied. Love the sound everytime I turn on the TV!
Two channel only of course.
