When you look at the "exploded view" photo of this soundbar on the JBL website, it shows an "extra" woofer on the far left of the main soundbar. What is this used for? (Most soundbars use matched pairs for left/right channels.) Is this photo a mistake? null

I understand your question of what appears to be an extra "racetrack" speaker on the left side of this soundbar.  I initially had the same concern.

There are five (46x90)mm racetrack drivers in the Bar 1000.  I believe the two on the left are for the left channel (hopefully their amps are set for different frequencies).  The two on the right are for the right channel.  And there is only one racetrack speaker for the center channel that also has a center tweeter to the right of it.

The confusion is because looking at an exploded view, there appears to be two center channel racetrack speakers with one tweeter between them.  But that is probably not the case, there is only one.  Plus there is a space on the right-side last speaker for the LED display, that only adds to the exploded view confusion, because it appears to be missing a speaker.

Hope that helps!

Looks like someone didn't actually read/answer my question.  I am NOT talking about the subwoofer.  I'm asking about the extra speaker on the left side of the actual soundbar.  Thanks!

The extra woofer on the JBL Bar 1000 is called a subwoofer. It is responsible for providing deep and powerful bass, delivering an immersive sound experience when watching movies or listening to music.
