If the subwoofer needs to play out of phase with the soundbar speakers,the sound waves from the soundbar can cancel out some of the sound waves from thesubwoofers, reducing bass performance and sonic impact. This phenomenon depends,up to some extent, on the placement of the subwoofer and soundbar relative to eachother in the room.
