Frequencies in a subout of a soundbar.

[Varun_27]

The subout of a soundbar carries only low frequencies or complete signal.

Should be only low frequencies. Exactly at what point depends on the soundbar cross-over.

If you have to be sure connect a self powered full range speaker to the sub out. Keep the volume very low to start.
If you hear almost no output except bass then the subwoofer out is low pass filtered in the soundbar.
If you do hear substantial sound then they are sending a full range signal to the subwoofer which has the low pass filter inside the cabinet. It might be cheaper for the manufacturer that way.

I would like someone to do like that.

And if i biforcate the signal before reaching soundbar , will I experience some delay in sound fro the sound bar and my logitech Z506.?

But in a VIZIO SB XX51 soundbars there must be COMPLETE signal not just low frequencies, but the problem is that the subwoofer is wireless so the soundbar will not be having subout.

The soundbar does process the audio and that might add some delay.
Since you only want the subwoofer to play you may be OK. Moving the subwoofer might be an option to compensate. 1 foot is about 1 millisecond.
