3rd party SubWoofer

Hello gang. I am a long time SONOS user and love the system. i am up to 4 Play 1 speakers now and recently got the play base. I connected the base up to the TV and it's working perfectly - thank you SONOS. I am turning 2 of the speakers into rear surround sound for the playbase but my question is regarding my existing sub. I already have an amplifier with a nice sub. How can i link my existing sub to the system? i don't want to shell out $700 on a sub when i already have one. I was looking at the connect but some posts i read say it's NOT possible. Since the posts i found are a bit dated i rather ask and see if there some new updates to solving this issue. Thank you in advance.

Hi there, greyes96. Thanks for posting, I am happy to clear up any confusion. You are correct, the CONNECT cannot be used to bring a 3rd party subwoofer directly into Sonos. This is because the CONNECT does not have an amplifier built in. However, since you have an amplifier already feeding the subwoofer, you could add the CONNECT as an input to your amplifier and the let the amp feed the subwoofer as it would with any other input.

I have sonos amps and wired speakers throughout my home but would like more bass in my great room. Can this Klipsch Reference R-10SWi be added to the newer sonos amp wirelessly? I have 4 wired speakers in my ceiling wired to the sonos amp and want to add a cost-effective sub. If this Klipsch won't work, what will besides Sonos subs? Does the sonos amp provide enough power for my 4 speakers and a sub?
