creating surround sound

I bought my sonos about 5 years ago.  I have a playbar and a sub.  I would like the easiest way to create surround sound using my existing equipment. 

Thanks!

The Playbar is already your front 3 channels. Add a pair of Ones bonded as surrounds to build the system up to 5. Your Sub is the .1 resulting in your 5.1 system.

    One SL or Play 1 would be my choice, IKEA /Sonos speakers might work too.

    Used Play 1s might be the cheap option but compare to sale pricing on the One SLs.

    If you’re interested in adding voice commands to your system (SVC, Alexa or Google Assistant) you could buy a One and a One SL for surrounds: https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-connect-google-home-to-sonos-speakers-4690001
