Hi,

Running dual subs (one Gen 3 and one Gen 4), and noticed in the app it gives me only one control for both subs.  Meaning…..the crossover setting is there only once, and the phase setting is there only once.

 

So...why wouldnt I be given the ability to set crossovers differently?  and are both subs phased the same?  wouldnt you want to have the phased opposite for best impact?

 

I am no expert, and am open to all feedback.

 

Thinking I might add a second AMP so I can control my second sub the way I want.  Does that make sense?

 

TIA

 

Moderator edit: Changed “One Gen 3 and one Sub 4” to “one Gen 3 and one Gen 4” for clarity.

I would imagine it’s because there’s only one subwoofer signal in a 5.1 system regardless of how many subwoofers you connect, so any digital crossover and/or phase adjustment would apply to both.

For music you could Group the two Amps but that is a lot of expense for what is likely to be a small, if any, improvement in the crossover setings.

Phase makes more sense as that could have an impact. As was said above though there is only one .1 signal so it isn't possible now.

Maybe in a future release Sonos could move the phase control from the primary speaker and make selecting it a function of each Sub.
