I have a 5.1 receiver with a connect amp connected to listen to music through the  receivers speakers.  I have a new kitchen with 3 dual channel ceiling speakers.  I’d like to be able to listen to music through the existing 5.1 system as well as the new dual channel speakers.(x3). This might be a simple fix, but I’m not sure how to add these new speakers, as each speaker takes 2 channels for the stereo experience. (L n R x 2). Another receiver?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  McMac 

I have simple setup where my Sony TV is connected to a set of Klipsch speakers as the main audio output, and I also have an Amp which is connected to the speakers. I noticed that when I listen to Spotify on the tv/speakers, the sound is much louder and clearer than if I played it directly from the app and amp. Does anyone know why? This is puzzling me since if anything I should expect better quality from the amp. TIA!

I recently bought a pair of SONOS ERA 100.I created a group for Sonos ERA 100 called “FrontERA100”I would like to know if I can include the sub on a seperate group? Is this possible when the sub is already assign to a different group called “TV Room” with a Beam and Play 1(2 rear) configured?OrI need to purchase another sub? Caused my end goal for music is just to listen ther SONOS Era 100 and Sub.

Hi, I would like to know your recommendations to clean the dust inside the sub mini. Can I use a soft cloth or something to clean carefully the speakers? They have a lot of dust in the bottom side of the speaker cones.Thanks!

Hi. Curious if folks are using conduit and, if so, what type - e.g., PVC? I’ve seen mixed feedback when searching online. Thanks!

After housing for a week or so when it worked fine,  some reason Sonos could not find 3/5 pieces of kit and says “this kit is part of another system, reset and add to new system” - a real pain to have to force the reset on each and add - using “Sonos network” when it asked.however for 1 piece, this doesn’t work - it says created temp Sonos network “ but my phone cannot find it to connect to. Have tried adding it to system via Ethernet network but when I try and access it it disappears from the system and needs readding - any suggestions ? 

Looking to purchase and install GARDEN SERIES SGS 8.1 OUTDOOR SYSTEM (8 - SATS, 1 - SUB).  I see that these systems include an optional SOnance Amp.  Would I need to purchase the Sonance Amp as well as the SONOS Amp, or will it work well connecting direct to the Sonos amp

I just purchased 4 Sonos ERA1 and 1 ERA 300…I’m loving the experience. I would like to use them with my TV until I can squirrel away the funds to buy an Arc Ultra. Is the Line-In adapter the best way to achieving my goal? Thanks in advance.

                                                                                                 Hello.    I have a question:      The new sonos amp, that is 125 watt per channel (for the wired ones), is it RMS or peak?    I did not buy the sonos amp yet. But I am planning to buy it soon. I will need to buy wired  speakers for it too.  But if it is RMS or peak the 125 watt power, actually there is a difference: of what kind of speekers I need to buy. And I explain:  The peak power is the 1/3 of the RMS power. That means   the 125 watt per channel,  if it is peak, it is  actually 40 watt RMS  per channel.That means I need to buy different set of speekers if it is actually 40 watt RMS or 125 watt RMS. Because if I buy speakers for amps that are actually 125 watt RMS, and the amp power is only 40 watt RMS, the amp will not be able to handle the speakers correctly,  when you put the volume a little bit higher.      This is why actually it matters the spec of the power of watts per channel,

Hi Sonos Crew -I need some advice/help..?  I recently purchased 2 Wet Sounds VS-8 outdoor wall speakers for my backyard. I have them powered by a Sonos Amp from inside my house.  They are incredibly clear and loud.  Bass is pretty good, but I feel like they are overpowered but the horn loaded compression driver.  Still the best outdoor speakers I’ve owned.  So these face our pool area from the back of our house.    My issue is with the next set up.  I plan to install 3 Wet Sounds VS-6 in some large planter boxes we have surrounding our pool. This will be powered by a 2nd Sonos amp for pool area (so not the same amp that connects to outdoor wall VS-8 speakers). I will also have at least 1 of the 12 inch Wet Sounds outdoor subs buried in 1 of the planter boxes. Currently I have one VS-6 and one sub set up for a test trial. I feel like the sub just isn’t getting enough juice to really make it thump.  I’m thinking of buying another a 3rd Sonos Amp just to power the sub.  As of now I have a

I have just sold my Sonos arc and want to by another sonos Soundbar later. Can I still use my Sub with my Play 5 or my Symfonisk speakers from Ikea? if yes how do i set it up?

I want to purchase sonos connect amplifier , I shall be setting up a WiFi connection with Internet. In the event Internet is down momentary on my WiFi,  will I still be able to play stored music on phone over the WiFi on sonos connect amp?Internet services is unreliable in my region, I don't want to get frustrated not been able to play music when Internet is down?

I've read through the discussions here and it upset me that no one provided this easy solution. Listen Not everyone wants to stream FM/AM local broadcasts!!! Some people like myself want a simple TUNER connected to their sonos system so they can QUICKLY go to a local radio station. I had to look around and finally purchased a HD tuner by Sangean, I believe its the model 100. I also had the sonos Amp which I connected the tuner RCA outputs into the Amp. The Amp also has small wired speakers because I use this in my workout room. I get the best of both worlds with this setup! So sonos if they are smart will create a simple TUNER because not everyone wants to stream EVERYTHING!!! Make sense.????

We are looking into upgrading to our first Sonos system, I’m looking at an ARC ultra along with a sub 4 and two Era 300s as the rear speakers. Primary use will be movies. We don’t want to do speaker stands and we don’t actually have a wall behind the couch for another 20 feet. Has anyone ceiling mounted the Era 300s? I read that in the settings you can invert them but does anyone have a similar setup and can make recommendations. Does it work well for surround sound / atmos experience?

I’m planning to purchase 3 pairs of Sonos 8 inch In-Ceiling Speakers (INCL8WW1).Can it be powered by one Sonos AMP or do I need more to use the speakers upto full capacity?

HI, I have a sonos amp 2X125W and I want to put 2 speakers focal aria 906 who need 20 to 120w I want to know if my sonos AMP is too powered for those speakers ? 

Really effecting my decision to purchase more speakers. 😔

Ok here's what I have going on right now, I have a connect gen 2 with rca out ran to an amp powering my 2 outdoor speakers on my patio.  The new tv I put out there this year has terrible audio and wanted to have the option of playing the tv thru my outdoor speakers.  My connect has an optical input, I would assume I can just wire that in but I also don’t want to spend a lot of money running a good optical wire thru my attic how the wire would have to be run.   Am I better off using the hdmi arc out from the tv into an extractor that that did optical out, or that goes to rca out?  I’m trying to avoid the easy solution of spending 700$ on a Sonos amp since I pretty much have everything and can possibly make this work for under 100$. Also will I be able to easily switch between whatever I want to play in my app (which isn’t easy at all, but thats another issue) and the tv audio in the app? sorry I dip my toes at best in this world, and am not big in understanding audio.

Is a SONOS Connect Amp serial 1603 a Gen 2? I am pretty sure Gen 2 starts after June 2015 so March 2016 should be 99% Gen 2 right?

Had to change my router today so needed to add Sonos to network.  Turns out my Connect Gen2 is too old to auto join so had to factory reset, now still can’t join network app keeps sending me round in circles.Sonos people, this is the latest in a long line of problems I have had in the last few months, please guide me through this latest one, or if anyone else can, I would be very grateful. 

Does turntable require a wire to connect to Sonos because I was wondering the to keep the beauty of wireless and add a turntable to it does that is possible ?

Hello, I’ll try to be as detailed as possible so here we go.  I currently have and Arc, Sub and 2x One SL’s in my living room. With the arc connected to the TV and the sub and 2 One SL’s linked to the Arc in the same ‘Sonos room’ (living room), this is my surround sound setup which I also use to stream spotify through. I also have a Sonos move which is separate but can link with my Arc and play the same audio and can be carried around the house and into the garden for example. My question is this, if I was to connect a turntable (with a built in pre amp) to the Sonos amp and then to passive third party speakers in a separate room (my upstairs office) would I also be able to play this audio (from the turntable) simultaneously on the rest of my Sonos system (surround sound and move) wirelessly through the SONOS app? Or is this not possible?  I hope that makes sense, and help is appreciated.   

Hi All! I am contemplating installing a Sonance MAG 6.1 but need 2 add 2 speakers which I understand can not be added in wired fashion. I was told that i could run 2 extra wifi speakers off the sonos app. Can anyone confirm if this is true or not?  Thanks!

Hi all, thanks in advance for any advice given. I’ve read other topics around turntables but not quite got the info I need. You will gather as you read my question that I’m not particularly tech savvy hence asking all you knowledgeable people out in the community 😊I bought a Beam 2, 2 x era 100 and a mini sub for my LG TV last month and am very happy with it; it sounds fantastic in my living room. In my kitchen I have my old stack system. A Pro-Ject RPM 1.3 Genie turntable, a Rotel RA-820B amp, cd player and tuner and 2 sets of Tannoy mercury F speakers attached via a switching box for 2 room playing. I’d like to add my turntable to the Sonos setup. The cd player, tuner and speakers are now obsolete with the purchase of the Sonos but I’d like to keep my LPs.My understanding is that my amp has a phono pre amp for the turntable (photo for info) the turntable doesn’t have its own pre amp. Therefore if I wanted to connect to the Sonos over my WiFi connection I’d need to buy a Sonos port a
