Hi Michael, I'm happy to hear you prefer the Solo Soundbar 2 to your TV's speakers. A separate bass module cannot be connected to this soundbar, however you can use the remote to turn the bass up. Press the Bass button, then press + to increase the bass, before pressing Bass again to save it. I hope this information is useful. Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Service
