Wait, why would you need two sensor bars?  Doesn't the Wii and WiiU use the same thing?

Yeah, but one kid can play on the WiiU gamepad, while the other (or me) uses the Wii on TV. Only one needs to be on at a time (it's just 2 leds after all) but I don't feel like switching it over depending what system I use. It works fine as long as they are stacked exactly on top of each other. Although I could just turn on the Wii to power the sensor bar while using the WiiU Wii functions.

Oh, I get it.  Hmm, I don't think anyone makes a splitter so that one Sensor Bar could be controlled by two devices.  I do something like that on my optical out as my Xbox 360 and Bluray share the same port on my reliever. 

I stick my sensor bar right under my Kinect.  I'm not sure if that will work with the new one though.  The speaker array, is isolated, and close to the ground. But second thought, it should be fine, it has that telescoping base.  It can raise itself, what looks like at least an inch, perhaps more.
