Or should I keep the sub 2 connected the Five in the medium room? Also, the sub connected to the arc in the large room isn’t really shaking or rattling the room at all. I honestly was expecting a very large boom for the price. Am I doing something wrong with the sub connected to the arc? 3. Is this the best set up for loud music that could shake the room if needed?

Bass is non-directional. When the unit is properly positioned you should not be able to discern where the sub is located; unless you are standing in very close proximity. However the sub does need to be in the same room.

I gather that the space you are setting up with Sonos may have a very high ceiling and the adjoining rooms are open to each other.

Regarding the use of TruePlay to tune the speakers. You may not have good results as TruePlay relies on walls to bounce back the signal to the mics. In an open or very large space TruePlay may fail. That’s to be expected…so no worries. I suggest starting with the Fives and subs.

If TruePlay fails in one I see no need to proceed to other speakers. The best tuning you get may just be your ears especially when placing the subs.

So I’d concentrate on the Five and a sub combo’s first. If they sound good to you either by Trueplay or by ear I ‘d forgo the Ones; unless you feel energetic 😂

With regard to Trueplay, it was not designed do deal with this sort of layout. Trueplay assumes a Livingroom sort of environment laid out as a single SONOS “Room”. Physics is still physics, of course, but this case is too complicated for Trueplay. That said, Trueplay might be productive and is worth an experiment. Don’t be afraid to adjust things to your taste.
