Acoustic Audio AA5170 Home Theater 5.1 Bluetooth Speaker System 700W with Powered Sub

Absolutely outstanding the AA5170 acoustic audio buy goldwood is a pretty unique little home theater system I bought the system back in 2019 just to get good sound for my 42- inch HDTV one of them pretty good sound not too bad use the Bluetooth and SD card and FM radio for a while but mostly using it for my surround sound for the television we hooked it up to my 55 inch TV in 2020 still sounding good but something was missing it was flat on one side of the room the base is what I mean came up with an idea to buy a extra subwoofer couldn't find one to fit the bill so I was going to scrap that idea Something Told me just buy another one put a 3.5 splitter in between it to split the signal and put it on the other side of the dresser so I did that in 2021 and what a great idea the sound changed more Fuller more stronger more Bass two units 5.1 surround sound system and I was enjoying it then I said you know I can do something with these units because what I had just did wasn't ever done before to my knowledge with this type of unit so I decided to do an experiment try different items and see will it work with this system I did that started coming up with more ideas as I went along decided to buy two more units oh my God sound changed again this time the base more stronger vibrating the floor and walls it turned it into Dolby Atmos because I had put the speakers on the walls uppers and lowers and rear and I had an EQ hooked up to I figured that out was able to control the base trouble in mid-range it was awesome brought a friend over to test the sound level she had a gadget with a mic and meter and the power that we pushed out was over 1400 Watts of sound power and I didn't turn it up as loud we may have have got more power if I turn it up a little bit more or a lot but the sound was totally clean even if I turn it up louder it states 700 Watts total power for one unit I can't give it that but I can give it 70 Watts for one of them but even one has good power and sound and with eight for each unit that's brings it up to 560 Watts of power plus sound power for all eight of them plus a little more with everything connected up to it felt like I had two powered j b l 18s Subs speakers connected up to these units. With these units I wasn't using the Bluetooth or FM radio or USB anymore the preamp that I had hooked up to the system had all the functions that the surround sound system has BT for Bluetooth FM radio SD card USB so I was just using the units for the speakers the amp inside and the processor which became a good experiment that turned into a project I highly recommend the aa5170. 71. and 72. And all the acoustic audio portable surround sound systems that they make you could do just what I did with all of them when you get more of them which there are 5.1 surround sound systems it turns them into channels more channels when you have several more you can do a lot of things with this unit expanded additional unit you already have or add on to another unit by another brand with this unit the ideas is unlimited the game has been changed for units like this and the aa5170 has paved the way I highly recommend it my custom sound is Ultimate extreme this is the best who knew that you could use professional equipment with a consumer items I didn't know until now this is a long story so I highly recommend buying this unit and if you want more sound buy another one and connect using adapter and splitter to split the signal and create your most ultimate system but there is one thing if you used the Bluetooth SD card FM radio you can only use one or the other unit you can't use both at the same time that's why you need to get a preamp with the same functions that the aa5170 has it will be complete because you can use both units at the same time. You can build the most outrageous system with these units highly recommend aa5170 71 and 72 + all the rest of them order this unit you would be really happy if you did incredible inexpensive 5.1 surround sound system,,

Sounds great and had options on it I didn’t even know like the usb plug in or the sd memory card slot. The sound is great.

This item does not come with batteries for the remote. Make sure you have 2 AAA batteries for it. Installed this home theater system yesterday, and I would say I am very pleased with the sound quality, and I feel like it is a good value for the price (approximately $121.00). Setup was easy and straightforward, item was well packaged. My previous system was a Logitech 5.1 system that was close to decade old, and I can say this system has much better sound quality. I'm noticing many things in music and streams I did not hear before. The remote isn't overly simple or too complex, has features for an FM tuner, a dvd player, and to adjust volume separately for sub, center, front, & surround speakers. There isn't much else I can add about the item after only about 24 hours of operation. I will report back and edit the review if any problems develop.

This system is not "good for the money" It is simply Great! The effective range is between 38Hz - 18,500Hz (Top of mid-range) 20Hz - 20,000Hz is Beats PRO Headphones For music with any EQ; even a simple Spotify EQ, sounds absolutely fantastic! For Audio like, voices on YT, you need a desktop EQ. (No speakers for high end are included with this system, this system is all mid- low range drivers) The drivers make any YT video sound very middy-bassy and gross. The app DeskFX is free and the only thing you need to EQ to level out videos for free! If you EQ with DeskFX, YT videos will sound absolutely perfect on this system! you're welcome!

I wanted to like this surround, I really did. It looks neat and it was cheap, but that is its only highlight. The satellite speakers are very cheap feeling and sounding and my right front speaker was very distorted the second I hooked it up, I tried hooking another one up to the same port and it was fine, so the speaker itself is crap. The wires to the speakers are nowhere long enough to set it up as a surround system unless your setting up your home theater in a smallish closet. The controls for the unit are on the subwoofer, the "display" for which is usually an indecipherable mess. The "sound" produced by the sub is OK if you are listening at a very low level with bass turned down. If you add any bass (which one may want while watching or listening to anything) or turn the volume up above a whisper the sub sounds like you are aggressively shaking a paint can full of larger rocks. The remote control is garbage as well, it would not work (even with fresh, new batteries) unless you were a few inches away from the receiver, making it useless as a "remote". I also discovered that my TV remote shares some of the same code so using my TV makes this system do things like change input source, mute, pause/play a track from Bluetooth or just shut off, and seemingly randomly. The unit also has an audible hiss when it is on standby or the volume is at "0" ( which is as loud as you can comfortably listen to this pile of garbage). I hate this piece of crap and I hate myself for buying it. Needless to say I can't return it fast enough. Please DO NOT BUY THIS. You can do better than this and I don't even know you.

There are things I like about this and there are things I hate about this. He are the things I like: it has decent sound. The bass can be a bit boomy, but it sounds excellent at low volumes. I live in an apartment so I haven't had the opportunity to see how loud it can get. The FM radio receiver is decent, Bluetooth works as it should. Auxiliary works fine. Haven't tried the SD card or USB ports. Remote works fine. The functionality has something left to be desired. Here is what I don't like. The speaker cable is permanently attached to the speakers. If at anytime, I should get a short in the cord or my cat decides to chew through it, I will have to splice the cord. Also, the cord is a very small guage and the ends are RCA connectors. I was almost okay with the ends being RCA, but but had I known the other end was permanently attached, I may have chosen a different set of speakers. Plus, the cords are not nearly long enough for my average-sized living room. Another issue I had was the volume resets every time you turn it off. I don't know if that happens to everybody else's or if it's unique to my speakers. Let's say I turn it on and it's on 18. I turn it down to a reasonable level like 14. Then I reduce the bass volume to 12 so as to not disturb my neighbors. Later, when I want to listen to my tunes, the volume and bass levels are back to 18, which is blaring at 5am. Aside from that, the speakers look sharp and sound pretty good. Not audiophile standards, but feasible enough for an action movie or some tunes. UPDATE: I have had this for about 6 months now. I still feel the same. The issues I have with this are, I have to reset the volume, speaker levels and prologic mode everytime I change sources and the surround isn't good. I don't remember prologic surround sounding this muddled. There is little separation between speakers. You are better off with a 5.1 or 7.1 system. And my biggest pet peeve: the SD card doesn't go all the way in. It sticks out leaving it vulnerable to breakage. Not a huge deal, but it annoys me. Aside from that, it still works.

My main reason for buying these was for bluetooth capabilities. Bluetooth automatically connects from our Victrola combo record player to these speakers. Phone connection was a bit more difficult but I am a little slow in technology. Still trying to connect from my MAC but I will get it eventually. The sound is great and we spread the speakers out for a full surround. There is a subwoofer (main speaker) and all other speakers are labelled for positioning and hook up. They are ALL wired to the main speaker but there is plenty of wire to spread them around. They are NOT wireless independently form each other...only from the device that is producing the music! They can also be directly connected via RCA cables (provided) to any RCA accepting device. They look nice and are lightweight. They don't get super loud but great for a gathering space or family room to rock out. They have a convenient and easy remote (included) but batteries are not included. I definitely would recommend these to others. Rock on!!!

I had my eye on this for a little over a year, but finally made the plunge when I needed to have something for a party that required music. I bought this really focused on having something with a good amount of power. I read some reviews on here for these speakers and some were good, some where bad, so ultimately this comes down to personal opinion. The speakers arrive in a nice box. As I opened the package, my first thought was "these speakers seem a little small. I'm not sure that these will be loud enough." I plugged in just the sub/receiver and the center speaker and had the volume at 15 (30 is the max) and I was shocked at how loud it was. I took it up to 30 and my roommates and neighbors were a little concerned about the noise - again, only the sub and center speaker - I hadn't even plugged in the remaining 4 speakers. The bass from the sub is amazing! I haven't had the time to test all the speakers connected, but I'll update this review in a few days. UPDATE (After a few days later) I am still really impressed with these speakers! I managed to do a sound test at a friend's house that has a big backyard, this time connecting all 5 speakers. This little set did an impressive job by my standards. My friend was equally impressed with the audio. The controls seem basic, but provide means for controlling volume for the surround speakers individually from the front speakers, the sub, etc - that's nice to be able to adjust the speaker zone volumes. I actually ended up buying two because I was a little concerned that I might not have enough sound from this system for an outdoor venue, but one was enough. Nonetheless, I did a sound test of both simultaneously using a 3.5 mm y splitter to an aux source and the sound was impeccable. No delays, no issues, no regrets at all. I'm keeping the secondary unit; the price is too much of a bargain. My apologies in advance to my neighbors. Would I recommend this system - Absolutely!
