Moved into new place with the typical Bose (dumb) speakers in the ceiling...wires hanging out of wall in cabinet.   I have 3 Sonos speakers working great now - but hate to see these existing built-in speakers go to waste.  How can I use them as part of my system?  Assume there’s some device I’d need to purchase, then hook up to the speaker wires?  Info I’ve found online is a bit sketchy - so I will appreciate  the specifics on how to make this happen.  THANK YOU

Use a Sonos Amp, which will drive a pair of those speakers.

Agreed with @Airgetlam.  I don’t know what kind of Bose speakers you have. However if they meet the Ohm specs for the Sonos amp you can drive 4 speakers (2 pair) if that’s what you have.

If you want all on a single audio stream and an Amp won’t work consider a Port with an external multi-channel amp that will power however many speakers you have.
