Is there a wa- 2 converter for wireless transmitters for subs that do not have a wa connection?

Not sure of your connections, same as the other thread, but Parts express has plenty of transmitters and recievers to choose from

I saw your other post about what other wireless setups and wondered the same thing, but rather not a converter but just what does that connector entail and can you just remove it and instead attach an appropriate rca connector?

Thanks guys.

It's a 4 pin connector. Can not be removed.

My sub does not have this connection.

No mention of that in the description. Must be for Klipsch only. Very strange.

It says in the instructions connect it to the "wa" input on the sub. Like huh?

Just checked and their inventory is down to two or three units now, was a lot more less than a year ago (seems almost all the rf units were phased out) Amazon has a boat load of BT units. Axiom audio sells one also. Unfortunately I don't do wireless audio of any kind, although I did use the Dayton audio unit with power for my dad's surrounds and it seems Ok. I'm a hardwired kinda guy :D

Whose connection is it? Pics? Even proprietary connections can be worked around. Is there a reason you can't hardwire the subs, coax is cheap

Room doesn't permit wiring due to a hallway.
I would like to have subwoofers in diagonal corners for volume.

Posted this on the duplicate thread before I saw this one.

A number of options – how much do you want to spend?

The Klipsch is one of the cheapest of this type of device. If that’s what your price range is, you can easily find cheap Bluetooth receivers and transmitters (you’ll need one of each).

Wireless systems in general are problematic for a number of reasons. For starters, rock-solid wireless stability does not come cheap. Such systems in the pro audio field cost hundreds, all the way up to thousands of dollars. The lower the price gets, the more reliability becomes an issue.

When we get down to the “wireless basement” of consumer gear, all of which is inexpensive (compared to the professional gear) and operates in the crowed 2.4 GHz range, it’s not a pretty picture.

Pick a wireless product such as soundbars with wireless surround speakers and / or subs, Bluetooth receivers, et. al., check the Amazon user reviews, and you’ll find that none of them can muster more than a 40-60% approval rating. Dig into the negative reviews and you’ll find that most of the complaints are related to stability.

If you want a “subwoofer-specific” wireless option, there doesn’t seem to be many to choose from. About the only ones I could find were a dirt-cheap one from Soundcast (Subcast), and a few that are more expensive than the Klipsch, from JL Audio (Jlink TRX), MartinLogan (SW2-TRD) and Sunfire (SDSWITS). However, JL is the only one of those that actually publishes any traditional audio specs. And all of them are Bluetooth-based, which means the transmitter also does analog to digital conversion, and back again on the receiver end.

Well agree with the attached to the gear part....what's the adapter, tho?
Still don't know from the OPs posts lol, I'm too lazy to Google other peoples gear. Hell I'm to lazy to attach a Google how to link :rolleyes:

I chose the Klipsch because I currently have 2 10inch wireless subs running and the connection is excellent, once up and running not one problem or cutting out.

Had no idea the separate transmitters use a "wa" connection.

Only some of my pics out of a thousand show up in the upload option.
Let me look at the site.

Thank you for the research. Going with the Sunfire, it's only about 20$ more than the Klipsch anyway.
