24’x36’ Garage Gym

Afternoon everyone,

I’m building a 24’x36’ garage gym and want to build a surround sound system that will rattle your bones when lifting. I powerlift and want something that melts your face when you’re going for a personal record on deadlifts or heavy squats! I know very little about what setup would be the best to go with and was hoping for some guidance and recommendations on what you think would be the best for that. I appreciate any feedback.

Sonos Port.

Third party hefty multi-channel Amp.

Large floor standing or similar speakers. At least four, maybe six.

Looking at the other comments.

Ones and a mini Sub would likely rock a 10x10 foot room, going to sound good but not rocking loud in anything much bigger. That is my room size and two Ones and a full Sub play quite loud but it isn’t shaking the room if I leave the controls set flat.

In that space I’d not expect four Fives to hit your desired sound levels. Six might.

Add in that you can only tie the sub to a single Five or a Stereo Pair of Fives and you’ll be seeing mismatches in sound levels between the different Fives. I’d expect mono sound to be your best option in that space limiting you even more.

Based on your desired volume levels I ruled out a Sonos Amp and their outdoor/architectural speaker lines. I’d expect the Amp to run out of power and/or the maximum clean volume level of the speakers to be too low. Still if you are willing to accept lower volume levels an Amp and six speakers would be a nice setup. That would also work well with a Sonos Sub (not sure if you could add two Gen 3 Subs to the Amp but if you can I would) as it would be bonded to all the speakers so the frequency response would be identical.

My old 3 car garage system (wife evicted it from the living room) was a pair of Klipsch La Scallas and a 600 Watt amp, it would rock that space.

That’s good info that know. Yeah I’ve only ever had a two car garage so I’ve never needed anything huge. But since the one died, it’s time for a serious upgrade!
