Kohler, Polk team up on SoundTile in-shower speakers

It appears that the art of singing in the shower is full comeback mode, as not only do you have the option of picking up a speaker-infused shower or bathtub, but now you can retrofit your current one with SoundTiles. Co-developed by Kohler and Polk Audio, these music makers are designed to "perfectly match the shape, profile and finish of the WaterTile bodysprays and showerheads," but we don't see any reason why a slimmed down, waterproof speaker won't work just fine in your current arrangement. The device sports a "marine certified" coaxial speaker in a four- x four- inch escutcheon, a stainless steel front grill, and can be controlled by Kohler's DTV II or wired into any vanilla sound system. The SoundTiles will only be sold in pairs, but should be offered in a variety of finishes for $295 when they land in May.

Where's the sub?!?

I'VE WAITED THIS LONG FOR 5.1 IN MY SHOWER, AND THEY DON'T HAVE THE BALLS TO MAKE A SUB?!?

If you really wanted to, you'd have a standard sub placed under your shower (during construction), or just outside of it.

Or you could turn the bathroom sink cabinet in to a subwoofer case....

It's totally ridiculous and I could never see myself springing for them, but that commercial *is* pretty cool.
