Hi @Saltyseadog.

Thanks for reaching out and welcome to the community! We’d be glad to help.

Yes, you can use Sub and two Play:5’s hence, only products of the same model can be used together as surround speakers.

Here is the list of Sonos products that can be used as surround speakers:

One (all generations) and One SL
Play:1
Play:3
Play:5 (Gen 2)
Five
IKEA SYMFONISK WiFi bookshelf speaker
IKEA SYMFONISK table lamp with WiFi speaker
Amp powering third party speaker
Connect:Amp powering third party speaker

You can see more details in this article that provides guidelines and limitations of surround speakers in a Sonos home theater setup. To learn how to add your speakers as surrounds, see our article on adding surround speakers.

Let us know how that goes.
