I have in ceiling sonance c6r speakers (max 85watt, 8 ohm) in my house. My main room is set up for 5.1 with a speaker above my TV but are currently connected to a Sonos amp which I have recently connected to my TV. The center speaker is not currently added to the amp.


Is it possible to add the center speaker to this amp without breaking it?

Sonos recommends only wiring four 8 ohm speakers to a single Amp.

Usually in your speaker setup, you would use two Amps - one to power the two front channel speakers and one to power the two surround speakers. The center speaker would remain unused. You can add a Sonos Sub or Sub Mini to complete the 4.1 setup.

If you want to use all five speakers, you need to use a standard 5.1 AV receiver rather than a Sonos solution.
