Multiple Subs
Unless they are collocated, you will have nulls (aka "standing waves") in certain places where the long wavelengths overlap. Your dishes are probably in a peak area. 😉
I love having my two SONOS SUB's in the one room. Like you said at low volumes it's still so pronounced. I can play down to their lowest 25Hz range and literally feel it in everything even at the lowest volumes, all without overpowering the mix. Trueplay seems to perfectly balance the SUB's so there is no dead tones or overlaps. I love it!
That is good to hear, though I doubt that Trueplay has the capability to do the tweaking needed to do this. Multiple Subs need very careful set up/calibration to add to instead of deduct from the overall experience and I would always suggest buying a second Sub of any make on a trial/return basis.
Wrong. Multiple subs smooths bass and reduce peaks and nulls.
Why would you use play 5s as rears? Seems like a giant waste of money. I don’t think you would notice a difference between play ones/Sonos ones over 5s as a rear channel. Volume is minimal and most bass is channeled through the sub. I wish Sonos would allow for a second sub to be used and tuned in the same zone.
That being said, I would have like to be able to simply add multiple subs into one "room" without faking a three room "group" and simply turning off the "extra" Play Ones. It's flexible but not perfect. I haven't had a single complaint at any of our house parties.
That being said, was hoping to add a Sonos SUB to an existing Sonos theater system (PLAYBAR + SUB + PLAY:1 x2), but sounds like it is not possible? Think I understand the workaround posted of combining two Sonos zones with subs into one room but don't technically see how that would work in a Sonos theater setting. Would want Trueplay to tune both subs together as well.
You could certainly use the "two room" work around with music streaming, but not with a TV (digital) input.
I've seen that volume reduction with two non-Sonos subs and active equalization.
No. Actually, there are disadvantages due to the large wavelengths interacting and causing null areas or "standing waves".
I suggest you do some research before you write all that nonesence. Multiple subwoofers, actually correct the very same wavelengths issues that one sub causes in a residential environment, specially for multiple seating positions.
Extensive research has been done on the subject.

Only if you have them optimally tuned. And yes, that post is 3 years old.
