Is is possible to control 13 ceiling speakers?......

So I have 11 ceiling speakers all rated for 4-ohms to 8-ohms for each speaker.

These:

And 2 ceiling subwoofers rated for 8-ohms each.

These:

They're grouped in different rooms throughout the house, and the groups are wired to this volume knob in the wall:

From the knobs the wires are sent to one central location. I don't mind all of them on the same zone.



Is there any possible way to set up a Sonos system for them?



Thanks
Hi there, Paul_L. Thanks for posting. Chances are you will need to wire all of these speakers to an AMP. From the amplifier, you can plug in a Sonos CONNECT as an input, therefore, feeding the 13 ceiling speakers as one unit.
Thanks Keith. I'm not sure how that all works. I isn't the Sonos CONNECT already an amp? Would the amp have to be a receiver as well? What about the ohms math... I'm just all new to this.



Thanks
How many actual wires then come from the volume knob to the cental location.



With that many speakers I believe it is best you get a high powered amplifier (non-sonos) then as Keith mentioned - get a Sonos Connect as input into the high powered amp.

Paul - the CONNECT isn't an amp. The CONNECT:AMP is, but as Chris suggests a separate amp is likely to work better - driving that many speakers from one standard amp is unlikely to give good sound.
