For those of you who are challenged with all those wires lying on the floor when putting together a home-theater surround system, Boston Acoustics delivers sound and performance with no speaker wire required. The HPS8WI is bundled with a 2.4GHz-band analog wireless transmitter to send bass signals from a user's receiver or preamp/processor to an 8" 150-watt subwoofer. Simply connect the transmitter to your receiver's subwoofer output and plug the subwoofer itself into any wall AC outlet. That's it, you're done. Get ready for real theater-quality bass in your home, without hassle, the wireless way!

4 out of 5 stars Good sound   September 2, 2008
This is one of the better wireless subwoofers. I had no problem installing it and the calibration was easy with my Denon AV receiver. I did have one problem however. After a couple of hours the transmitter will start to blink sometimes, indicating loss of lock with the receiver. It was so bad sometimes that I had to contact the BA technical services. We eventually agreed that it was probably defective. Fortunately the Amazon return service was really good, within a week I got a brand new replacement.

The replacement has been working flawlessly and the sound was fantastic. I will recommend it to anyone.




5 out of 5 stars Boston Acoustics Wireless Sub   May 15, 2008
This as an Excellent Subwoffer with suprising power and depth for it's size. The beauty is that it's wireless, and thus I did not have to run any new cabling where I wanted to locate it. My previous sub, was a 10" Passive B&W Matrix series, and performed quite well, but this BA is superior and am very pleased with it's performance, adjustability and looks. I would recommend when listening, to turn it to the on position, as opposed to the auto function, as in some instances you can hear a soft pop when it becomes active in the auto mode. Overall this is a 5 for sure, and is the second BA speaker (I have car audio with BA)that I am completely pleased with.

Great price from WholeSaleAV at $243, it is about $150 cheaper than I could find anywhere else
