My brother gave me his Sonos Connect (model S15) that he wasn’t using so I could connect my outdoor pair of Bose Free Space 51s. I connected the Sonos Connect to my Sonos Boost via Ethernet cable, then bought a pair of male RCA to speaker wire adapters, connected them to 14 AWG (4 conductors) speaker wire and ran it out and connected my Bose speakers.
The problem I am having is barely any sound out of my speakers. Literally have to put your ear up to the speakers to hear them on 100% Sonos Connect volume via the Sonos App.
Do I need an amp, a Sonos Amp, or something else in this setup for the speakers to work? If so, can anyone recommend something inexpensive for me to purchase online?
Or is it possible I have bad equipment, e.g. not the correct speaker wire or RCA to speaker wire connectors?
FYI I’m on S2, and have several play 3 and play 5s running via my Sonos Boost inside my house. All are wireless except one play 3 connected via Ethernet cable into my Connect.
Thanks in advance, Brent
