Im starting to thinks this idea will actually work, with the only flaw beeing that you cant cut the low frequensies played through the play 5 in order to let the subwoofer handle all low frequinsies. Might not be as perfect as feeding the sub with a signal from a designated sub output with already filtered signal with only low frequensies but would probably work.

One possibility is to lower the bass in the sonos app, reducing the overall bass and compensate with raising the bass/level on the subwoofer itself.ītw I think most subwoofers can handle full spectrum signals going in to them and that the subwoofer itself perform the crossover of this full signal. That might not be perfect, when the subwoofer is there to also fill the low frequensies, you are right. No matter what The sonos connect is plugged to I think the grouped single play 5 will play full spectrum. The play 5 would probably play full spectrum yes, since it has no idea that the sonos connect is actually plugged to a subwoofer rather than active stereo speakers or a reciever or whatever. The Sonos Connect has a dedicated stereo output that could be split with appropriate hardware to drive active speakers and the Dali sub at the same time. The Sonos Connect:Amp has a dedicated subwoofer output. But it does mean that you can't control the sub level as part of an audio group You wouldn't want to be blasted out when listening on phones by someone else controlling the volume. That means if it was grouped in a stereo pair - which is what you were planning to do with 2x Play 5s and the sub - then the one with the headphones connected is dropped from group volume.

This affects your plan to add a second Play 5 in two ways:ġ) Only one of the Play 5s will give sound out, so you can't use them as a stereo pairĢ) The Sonos software senses headphones connected to a Play 5. That means you'll get sound to the sub, but no sound heard from Play 5 directly. However, even if you wire to the headphone out and use that to connect to the sub's Line IN connections, the act of pushing in the jack plug switches off the sound going to the loudspeakers inside the Play 5. signals going IN to a device - Hence Line IN). That means a Line In socket is a one-way connection i.e. (Audio and video sockets are, for the most part, directional.

First, I'm going to presume that you'll wire from the headphone out rather than trying to get a signal from the Line In socket.
