A number of options out there – how much do you want to spend?
The Klipsch is one of the cheapest devices of this type. 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, so who knows what you're getting with the others. And all of them are Bluetooth-based, which means the transmitter also does analog to digital conversion, and back again on the receiver end.
