Bose Soundbar 700 - Connecting Active Subwoofer

[ewilburn54]

I have connected sub to sound bar but no sound comes out of sub

If you've connected the speaker to the soundbar using the music app and it shows it as connected and the light on the speaker rear is white then it sounds like you're another one with a hardware fault. Good luck

Hi ewilburn54,

Thanks for posting on the Community!

If you're trying to use a 3rd party active subwoofer with the Soundbar 700, it will not work as the system is only compatible with the Bass Module 700 or 500.  The 3.5mm connection on the soundbar was designed to be used with the bass modules mentioned previously if there were any issues with the wireless aspect.

Warm Regards,
