I have a pair of new Sonos Five speakers and a Sub Gen 2 on Sonos app. I was wondering if I can add another Sub to this mix and if yes which Gen? I have heard that Fives are not designed to link to more than one Sub, that privilege is reserved for home theatre setups.

But yes, using Sonos’ controller, two Sub setups are reserved for both Home Theater systems, and when at least one Sub is gen 3 or gen 4.

I think there was some recent discussion here of adding Subs using third party controllers.

Yeah this is what I hear from many.
