the question is 

is this sufficient with one sonos amp and second part question if I add front in wall speakers would this be unnecessary and if added all still on one amp to get tru 5.1 sound or better then with two sonos amps

Yes, you only need one Sonos Amp to power the two rear surround in-ceiling speakers.

If you want to add more in-ceiling speakers in another room, you would need to add another Amp.

NOTE: The Sonos Amp has been designed to power up to three pairs of Sonos Architectural speakers on a single Sonos Amp.

The Arc and Amp are both compatible with Airplay.

You cannot add any more speakers to the front channels with the Sonos Arc.

This is what you can do with your setup:

  • Sonos Arc
  • Sonos Sub
  • Two Sonance in-ceiling speakers powered by a Sonos Amp

This setup would give you a 5.1.2 system. The only other speaker you could add is another Sub, but make sure one of the Subs is a Gen 3. Two subs would give you a 5.2.2 setup.
