I have 2 Vizio Soundbars. One has a wireless Sub.

The Soundbar that is a set with the Sub went out and the sub still works AFAIK. I have read about the soundbar having issues and mine seems to be displaying the signs of being blowed up.

My question is:

Can I intercept the audio input from the wireless path or before the amplifier in the sub and hardwire it. Soundbar #2 has a RCA sub feed.

I am electrically inclined, and in my mind it seems like a fairly simple task.

I have searched for an answer without resolution.

Thanks in advance, I appreciate any help.

Unless you open that sub, and examine what makes it ticking, you won't know. If these is volume control on that sub, and this control is on a pot, you've hit the jackpot.

Open it, make a picture of the board(s) inside, see what gets connected where. If in doubt, post pictures here.
