Sonance architectural

Be sure to run the “Detect Sonos Architectural” feature under the Amp’s settings in the Sonos app. Also perform Trueplay and adjust the EQ settings to your liking.

Did that. Still sounds like garbage.

As a test, swap red and black leads on one speaker.

Just tried. Sounds worse.

Where exactly did you install the speakers? How far apart are they?

Well, I haven’t mounted them in the ceiling yet. They’re just sitting on my kitchen counter, a couple feet apart. I did set them in the cardboard inserts and faced them towards me. Figured that would be a decent test since my attic isn’t really an “enclosure”.

Unless mounted in an enclosure or wall, bass will be missing.

...and I should say, the true play won’t complete the process. It keeps saying there’s other sounds but the house is completely quiet.

The speakers will sound much different after you install them.

The speakers may sound a little better if placed in their boxes, but this is not a proper enclosure.
