Is the back supposed to be hot consistently? The hot back of the subwoofer is kind of worrying null

Question

That's normal due to the fact that you can't fully power them off. I switched to the z623 Logitech alternative due to this and Bluetooth overriding inputs.. but it is normal

Yes, it is not uncommon and is part of the design. There's a heatsink embedded in the sub that allows for transfer of heat that drives the main cone. It's normal and nothing to worry about. Of all the various brands I've had over the years, I've found Klipsch to be the best in sound, quality and reliability, even over the Bose that crashed on me. No issues regarding the 'heat' you are feeling.

Well I don't know if it's supposed to be hot but I gave my son an older set and he asked me the same thing which made me wonder about my new set and yes they get pretty hot so it's not just you're set

Yes, that is where the amplifier is.

it seems to be a common problem, but is NOT universal! that make me wonder if it was discontinued because of a problem. look around the net and some run cold unless in use with music, others, like mine are HOT all of the time.... Once home the sound really was not that great either.

VERY UNHAPPY and will never by another product from this company again.

As you cannot power it down, yes. This should not cause and issue other than increasing your electric bill.
