Sonance outdoor speaker Keep blowing

I have a sonos amp connected to Sonance outdoor speakers.  The speakers have both stopped working (only the tweater is working on each speaker). This is the second time in two years that the sonance speakers stopped working.   1. I have reset the amp2. Checked wiring3. Had sonos customer service perform diagnostics over the phone (listening to speaker).  He said the amp is working properly, this is a speaker issue.4.  I talked to Sonance customer service.  He said that the speakers are definitely blown.  He said this is NOT a common problem they see (and they put tons of them in marine environments).  He said that he thinks this is a sonos amp problem and while sonos amps can over power these speakers, properly functioning ones should not.  So, below is a review of my system. The outside zone consists of one sonos amp powered through a surge protector, 30 feet of 16-4AWG, Oxygen free, CL3 and burial rated wire to each speaker with only the black and red leads connected. The speakers ar

sonos connect glitching

My Sonos connect has been operating without any issue now no matter the audio source, the music is glitching like a scratched cd. I have tried changing my modem channel and the Sonos channel like the wifi interference advise but still no change.

Is there a product enhancement roadmap - why should i invest more in the product if i cant see the future?

Have just spent many thousands of dollars on a full home SONOS setup?Many said it was simpler and easier… however is it better ?  Multiple ARCs , AMPs , Subs and 8 pairs of high end 8 inch speakers. I have kept my previous full multi-room, multi-source home audio solution. The best thing i did was not to throw it out.Have managed to setup the two side by side throughout the house, the sound quality of the SONOS when trying to drive the new speakers is noticeably poorer compared to the previous 10 year old solution i was looking to replace/upgrade.So the question begs with a software driven solution. When will you be upgrading and improving? This is after all one of the main advantaged of been software and app driven. Should I continue to invest in the product suite…. your call !

In-Ceiling Speaker Placement

Hello, I have a new single story ranch home that I want to equip with in ceiling Sonos speakers. Looking for some guidance on 6” or 8” and what is the optimal number of speakers + placement in order to cover the living room, kitchen area, sunroom, and all 3 bedrooms.  For the living room I already have Sonos Arc, sub, and 2 One SLs (might need to move these to another room for lack of where to place cleanly without cables showing).I appreciate all suggestions!

Sonos Amp Won’t Power On

My Sonos Amp won’t power on. I have 4 amps and the other 3 are working but my 4th won’t power on. I have unplugged and let sit for a while and tried it again but no luck. I used a power cord from working amp and still wouldn’t power on. I tried holding the back button while unplugging and plugging back in and still no power. Need help!

In-Ceiling Speakers - No amp

Does SONOS have in-ceiling speakers that connect wirelessly and can be paired?  Would be easier than trying to run cable from the ceiling location back to an amp over 40’ away.  This would need a local AC supply to keep it charged in the ceiling, but I can’t seem to find a product like this on the website.

Sub & Amp set up

I have a Sonus sound bar linked to the Arc on the TV.I have now got a Sonus Amp which needs adding to the system and the amp is going power the rear surround speakers.A few questions.What is the best way to wire the sound bar and the Amp? TV only has 1 x ArC connection? (I can get HDMI to both the sound bar and the Amp.)Once the above is confirmed is it a case of configuring the system on the Amp?Regards,Tony

need a set up for living room and patio

Hello!  I need Sonos suggestions for the following requirements.Music for my living room that opens into a patio and pool.  So, i need to play music in my living room only sometimes, sometimes only outdoors in the patio and sometimes both.  There’s not TVs involved.So, ideally in the living room i need an amp and speakers. it’s a large space and i wouldn’t mind ceiling speaker solutions.  is a soundbar a good idea with a sub and satellite ceiling speakers?  is there a limit to how many speakers i can add?  For the patio i need weatherproof speakers for sure.  will the same amp be able to power all the speakers?Any suggestions would be appreciated.Thanks!

How many Sonos Outdoor speakers for my backyard

Hey there! I’ve been doing some and decided on getting Sonos Outdoor speakers + Sonos amps for my backyard because I love Sonos and i’ve read that these speakers w/ Trueplay sound great. What’s been very challenging is trying to figure out how many speakers I need to get based on my backyard space. Here’s what I’m thinking so far: Amp #13 speakers in the BBQ area 3 speakers in the covered patio area. Amp #23 speakers on left side of the pool 3 speakers on right side of pool Does this seem appropriate for the space? Also wondering I’m wondering if it’s best to set these up as left/right channels or mono?

Connect and outdoor 8.1 power amp clipping

First off, I’m a professional sound engineer for live and recorded music, but I have ZERO experience with home stuff, so I apologize if I get terminology wrong.I inherited a lot of A/V stuff in this house when we bought it back in 2020. Most of it has been useless as I can’t login to it, but I did manage to get into the Sonos Connect upstairs which was connected to a Sonance DSP2-150 MkII power amp and that appears to drive the Sonarray 8.1 speakers out by the pool.I think 4 of the 8 speakers are Left, 4 are right, and the sub appears to be wired mono, though there are only LR outputs from the power amp, so it’s not clear exactly how the sub is connected - but I don’t think it’s super relevant to my issue.Half of the small speakers have always been out - actually just really, really quiet by comparison. Recently the power amp failed, so I grabbed an old studio power amp out of my closet and plugged it in…To my surprise, *regardless of input side* (I tried both) whichever output drives

Hi I currently have a zone player which connects my record player, but it's only for the S1 app. Do I need a connect gen2 (far cheaper than the port) to replace the zone player on the s2 app? Thanks
