No, two subs in a single Sonos ‘room’ can only be used in a home theater context, in your case, connected to the Arc. Since I still don’t know how you’ve set up your Sonos ‘rooms’, it could be possible to have each Five set up as a different ‘room’, and use both Subs, one connected in each ‘room’, then you would just group the ‘rooms’, which would work fine, I’d think.

You can have two Subs connected to your Arc’s room, but you can’t have two subs connected to your two Sonos Fives, if they’re set up as a different room, and not as surrounds. Unfortunately, your post only says what you have, and not how you have them set up.

I have the Arc for itself, and im using the two fives together with the sub in “another room”. But i was hoping to add a second sub to my steroe setup where i listen to music?

 

well, Sonos just lost 799 euro, ill return it if i cant pair it with two sonos five and a sub…

I just came off the phone with Sonos, and the answer from them is:

yes, two Sonos Sub Gen 4 together with two Sonos Five gen 4 will work together for music?? But everywhere else i read, i see different opinions?

Since you’ve ordered it, wait till it arrives and try adding it. Then you’ll know, and can post an update here.
