Is there anyway I can simultaneously play my Bose sound dock and JVC soundbar? Could it work if I play my iPhone via an aux lead into the soundbar and then Bluetooth to the sound dock?
 
Solution

Not unless that said soundbar has Audio-Out (unlikely), or you hack it with a screwdriver and soldering iron to provide one.
Most auto-producing devices (phones, computers, tablets) output sound to one device at a time - the moment you pair BT, 3.5mm audio will be cut out.
There is no easy, off-the-shelf, solution to your problem. That's why companies like Sonos (and their products) exist.
 

You want to do a,b,c and x,y,z, and this and that..... you must pay. 😀
