TV Surround Sound Question - Beam/Sonance in Wall

Hi all - 

Drawing a blank on this. I have a large Sonos setup and am finishing a kitchen reno with wired sonance speakers. I wired two in ceiling and two in wall. They have separate amps in my comm center so I could separate the zones. 

I was planning to use the two in wall as surround for my Den TV. That TV will be connected to a Beam. This is obviously separate from my Comm Center. 
 

Can I use the in-wall as surround, even though the TV isn’t plugged into an amp? I will also have a Sub set up with it.
 

The In-Wall are running off a newer generation amp. Should I have run an HDMI cord to my comm center when the floors were open (too late now)?

Yes, you can use the in-wall speakers connected to the Amp as surrounds for your Beam without the TV being plugged into the Amp.

Here is the setting up Amp or CONNECT:AMP as surround speakers FAQ.

Does the beam have to be connected to the amp? Mine won’t be.

No, the Beam will connect wirelessly to the Amp.
