Sub gen 2 vs gen 3

Those dorks!  They have the correct size for the gen2, so I assumed they knew what they were doing :-)

Anway, since it doesn’t have any vibration, has anyone on here laid the sub on it's side in an open cabinet (with air space above it)? Not optimal, but my options may be limited depending on what #1 thinks of how it looks haha.

I have mine under the couch, lying down, and under the bed, lying down. Can’t see either of them, but they do work rather well. ;) 

 Awesome.  I have an entertainment center with an open center bay, 18”X18”X10”.  So I figured that would be enough air space around it to let the sound come out. Question is...will it rattle the doors. Worst case, I have to move it to the left side of the entertainment center.

Depends on how you set it in the settings. It can, if you ask it to. I’ve got mine set to rattle my bum, occasionally, if there’s an explosion, etc, but not so much that it is overbearing. Which I can (and have) do, on occasion. It’s pretty impressive. 

Adding a few of these can reduce door vibrations.

I think about buying my fist sonos sub and I’m not sure whether to buy gen 2 or 3... I always tend to buy used products and I could get a gen 2 at around 450 € which is half the price of a new gen 3.

So I’m not sure whether I have to go for gen 3 to have a system that runs in the future with all functionality? (at least 5 years)

What would you say?

The Gen 2 will be fully supported for a minimum of five years from the date Sonos quits selling it. They will (as they do for all devices) continue supporting it for as long as possible, but the five is a promised minimum.

I don’t see much in the Gen 3 to make me want to pay a premium to get one.

Can you please share where gen 2 available for €450. Th
