What Watt rms do Sonos have?

Sound quality is more dependent in speaker design and materials than the number of watts. It is highly unlikely you can match the sound of a Play:5 using off the counter outdoor speakers, no matter how closely you match the amplifier power.

Nope, i Am note buying eight play 5s, but i want the new outdoor system to have the same punch as eight play 5s.

I’m going to hook up a good quality amp with 8channels to 6-8 outdoors speakers. And then connect the amp to a Sonos connect.

Then the output power of the amp you buy and the efficiency rating of the speakers you get is what matters, not the ratings of the Play 5.

I'd recommend a good audio shop where you could compare outdoor speakers to find ones you like then buying an amp with a power rating of at least 1/2 of the speaker's maximum rating with more being better if you want them loud. Buying speakers without listening to them is a very risky proposition as ones rated the same can sound very different.

Don't expect a conventional speaker the same size as the Play 5 to sound as good, without the multiple driver/amp configuration they probably won't.

Yikes, the neighbor from hell. Pity anyone living nearby. 😃

Lol.
Assuming there are no neighbours, you need to take many more variables into account. As an example, if you want the same punch as eight play 5 units playing indoors in a large outdoor yard where the speakers are also further away from the listening area, you may need amp power of 10,000 watts and speakers robust enough to handle the power.

On the other hand, I get plenty of punch from a pair of Minirig speakers outdoors, where these are placed nearby - as in less than six feet away; these are portable bluetooth speakers with built in amps, and the pair of them can fit in a backpack with enough room to spare for overnight kit.

And to clarify the watts spec for the Connect Amp - this spec is provided because it is relevant where the amp is to be used to drive third party speakers because it is necessary to know it to choose/get speakers that are matched to the amp in the sense of being able to deliver the required sound levels when driven by the amp being chosen.

In the case of integrated units such as the play 5, this matching has been done by Sonos, and all you need to know is how loud the speakers will go without distorting. And since this depends on the nature of the space where the unit is placed, even if Sonos were to give a dB spec, the only reliable way to know would be to test run the units in place and see if they go loud enough.

A specific response to the above would be to get an amp that can deliver 100 watts+ rms to each connected speaker, make sure that the outdoor speakers have sensitivity higher than 90dB at I metre, and place the speakers as close to the listening areas as possible because sound levels outdoors reduce very rapidly with distance.
Use speaker wires of adequate thickness for the length needed - guidance is there on Google for this.

Great answer:) now i know what to look for.
The outdoor listinig area is like 20x5meters.

So what is the Sonos Beam's Amp Wattage?

I suggest you read the thread.

Don't worry I did and I figured you would answer with a WATTS DO NOT MATTER!!!!!! but I am looking to compare the Beam vs the Playbar according to specs.
