No, you cannot directly connect a subwoofer from a Vizio S4221w-C4 soundbar to a different soundbar like the Bose soundbar. This is because subwoofers are usually designed to work specifically with the soundbar they come with and are not universally compatible with other soundbars.

However, if your Bose soundbar has a subwoofer output port, you may be able to connect the Vizio subwoofer to it using a compatible cable. You will need to check the ports and specifications of both the Vizio subwoofer and the Bose soundbar to ensure compatibility.

Alternatively, you can use the Vizio soundbar and subwoofer as a standalone system and connect it to your TV, game console, or other audio sources using the available input ports on the Vizio soundbar.
