Sure. Any powered sub can be used with the sub output on the Connect:Amp.

i would buy a player if we could use an external sub. any chance of that happening. I have an rel that blends with just about any speakers.

Because the Sonos Sub integrates via wireless/DSP with Sonos kit I can't see Sonos play units working with a REL sub in future. The only Sonos solution that would do so is one that has a Connect Amp in it.

That what I was afraid of . If it had RCA outs it would work just don't want to add all the additional products.

Thanks

I have a playbar and 2 play1s. I guess I can use this device to get my non-sonos sub to work well with my sonos system ?
Just split the optical signal from my TV.

I can't imagine there is any confidence that the SUB and the Playbar would be synchronised. At the price of that kit I'd be selling my existing Sub and buying a Sonos one

The price is in NOK. You will probably find the kit for 30$. And the sub will receive the exactly same signal as the playbar at the same time so should be no problem with sync.

Might as well give it a try

Yes worth a try. But then again if this will work I can just use the stereo out on my Samsung tv and connect that directly to the sub ? The Playbar will then play the same signal from the optical cable as the stereo out on the tv ? Will at least try that out before bying the sonos sub. Tried the sonos sub a few times but does not play as well as the one I have for my other stereosystem.
