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.

Ok cool 

only need one sonos amp for this setup right

 

separately one pair per additional sonos amp for music in other rooms right ? ( one amp for 3 sets but al have same music same volume ) 

Oh with this setup mentioned by i can listen to my music on my phone through apple play

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.

Thanks  so much
