I own a Vizio m51ax-jx soundbar, as far as soundbars go I'm pretty happy with it. Besides the subwoofer
It's a tiny 5 inch, either 50 or 60 watt, 4ohm woofer. Its not the worst thing ever but it's far from what want.
Here's my crazy idea
Preface: have no clue what talking about, but if Im told it's possible, I can do it
Do you think could just get a new enclosure, new bigger woofer, upgrade the power supply, and move all the internals of the woofer to a new enclosure? Mind you, this sub controls the rear satellites and connects wirelessly to the soundbar.
I looked inside the woofer, doesn't seem like it would be hard to move the internals over, just don't know if it's possible from a power standpoint lol, like if there is anything on the boards that would need replacing. If I could just upgrade it's power supply then that seems easy enough.
A replacement woofer is only 50 bucks so I might just try it for the fun of it, although I've heard that you can't pair a replacement woofer to the soundbar because they are linked at the factory. But hey who knows.
If any of you have any thoughts, ideas, or just want to tell me how stupid I am for this then that'll be great.
