Hi Deccax,

Welcome to the community. You can use the CONNECT:AMP to power rear speakers for a 5.1 setup. In order to do so, though, you'll have to either connect the CONNECT:AMP to the Beam or PLAYBAR using an ethernet cable, or wire both the CONNECT:AMP and the PLAYBAR or Beam to your router. This is because the CONNECT:AMP does not have a 5 ghz antenna which the Sonos 5.1 system uses for low-latency streaming. You can read more here.
