I have 4 Yamaha NS-IW360C ceiling speakers with an impedance of 6 ohms each.



How can I connect them to the SONOS Connect AMP to have two stereo zones? (Example: kitchen and dining room)

No need to activate or deactivate any of the zones, they can always sound at the same time.

Should I use a speaker selector? Do you recommend any?

I also have a Yamaha YST-FSW150BL Advanced YST II Down-Firing Active Subwoofer, can I use this subwoofer with the SONOS Connect AMP?

Thank you very much for your help.

Hello bmjuber.


While we don't have any recommendations for a speaker selector as long as it has impedance matching you should be fine in connecting those 4 speakers.

I've verified the subwoofer and it looks like a powered subwoofer so it should be ok.

Use an Impedance Matching Speaker Switch.

You haven't got enough speakers to make a series/parallel impedance match circuit, so the best thing to do to keep the impedance at a reasonable level is to use an Impedance Matching -Switch or -Volume Control. Have a look at the B-Tech BT12

I'm in the same boat as the OP, but in my case i will have 4 pairs. 2 internal and 2 external.
I want the ability to use a combination of any pairs from just a single to all 4. All will always play the same music.

Any suggestions or recommendations?

Thanks
