I recently bought a Brilliant light switch that has screens built in with Sonos compatability for a easy consistent way to use my Sonos throughout the house. I currently use the Connect Gen 2’s for my inside and backyard to external amps. I am looking to add more speakers to my house as well as control every major room seperate. So to make a long story short, was going to use the Sonos Amp I just bought to run the rear in ceiling speakers I have and use a small energy M8 sub. Issue is that even if I buy a sonos sound bar and use the AMP for the rear my 3rd party sub will not work. Any advice? If I buy the Beam or ARC can I use one of my Connects to my 12 channel amp to work the surround? and then do a Sonos Sub? or do I have to get a connect:amp to do this?

In order to run a third party subwoofer in a home theater situation, you must use the Sonos Amp. This allows you to drive two of your own front speakers, and leaves the subwoofer port active.
When using a Sonos soundbar, there are no options that allow you to use a non-Sonos sub.
A Sonos CONNECT can not be used as a surround speaker. There is a kludge where you can use a CONNECT:AMP, as explained in the setting up Amp or CONNECT:AMP as surround speakers FAQ.
