Klipsch Reference R-10SWi
Hi all. I have sonos amps and wired speakers throughout my home but would like more bass in my great room. Can this Klipsch Reference R-10SWi be added to the newer sonos amp wirelessly? I have 4 wired speakers in my ceiling wired to the sonos amp and want to add a cost-effective sub. If this Klipsch won't work, what will besides Sonos subs? Does the sonos amp provide enough power for my 4 speakers and a sub?

The information on your subwoofer says:
Simply plug the R-10SWi into an outlet, then connect the compact, pre-paired transmitter to the subwoofer or LFE out on your favorite component.

So yes, it should work with Sonos amp since it has subwoofer out.
The sub doesn't get power from the amp. As far as 'enough power' it should be fine, but ti really depends on the space you're placing them and what you consider to be enough. You also must make sure the speakers are compatible with the amp when you wire 4.

Thank you. Would I need a cable though from the sonos amp (subwoofer out) to the sub itself? Or can it be done wirelessly. My amps are on a rack in the basement and the sub would be on my main floor so I'm hoping wirelessly.
Following the link I posted earlier. The Sub works wirelessly with the 'pre-paired transmitter' connect to the sub output (on the Sonos amp over 2.4 GHZ. So it should be able to connect from your basement to the main floor if you have wifi in both places. You need to ask Klipsch for more info. My concerns would be how well the connection works and if it interferes with Sonos wireless communications in any way.
The link also says it has a 30 day return policy, so it doesn't hurt to try it out.
