IR Pass-Through Soundbar?

I'm looking for a soundbar that has remote pass-through for my GF. She's renting and is unable to run wires through her apt's baseboards. The IR pass-through would let her place the soundbar directly in front of the TV. A wireless subwoofer would be a definite bonus for her kids' movie/gaming time.

Budget = $250, definitely NOT more than $300.
Size = 47" TV flanked w/ misc tchotckes that have somehow survived her cats and kids. As such the soundbar would have to be ~42" long max

Thanks in advance :)

Not sure what you mean by IR pass-through. IR will not pass through any solid object. However, you can place the soundbar in front of the TV if you get a soundbar that supports Consumer Electronic Control (CEC). This will allow the sound bar to turn the TV on and Off and adjust volume on the TV. Is she using a cable box?
