Sonos Dual Sub - Should you do it?

Hi all, I am producing this video to talk through the dual sub setup that Sonos has recently enabled with the release of Sonos S2 12.2.2 with the corresponding firmware update. This was a requested feature by some hardcore Sonos fans, as the subs aren't cheap... but this update brings about one of the best improvements in sound ever from any single feature. Watch on and find out!

It's worth it. I have a small room and it's still 110% worth it. I was always able to localize the single sub and "hear" where it was. Since I added the second sub they both audibly disappeared in the room and the bass has reached true movie theater quality by filling the room ambience. IT'S WORTH IT!

For my Christmas gift this year I got myself the Sonos ultimate setup. I got the arc, two Sonos fives as rears and two gen 3 subs and I’m absolutely in love. It truly bring the meaning of the “home theater” to life: thanks for all of your videos Peter!

Peter is super helpful by providing data vs. only specs, "opinions", etc. I'm looking forward to the placement of the subs video!!! I'm thinking diagnolly from each other. I'm hoping he gives an idea of how many feet from one another, etc. Thank you for the great videos and information. Super helpful.

I loled with your enthusiasm in your upfront answer! Great reaction

[martinmilanowski]

Danke! Moved the sub gen3 from the bedroom to the living room for a dual sub setup. In the bedroom now the sub mini setup sounds perfect with your settings.

I just got a second sub gen 3. Thank you for all the information! You help a lot!

Finally Peter is back! Thanks again for.your videos

Thank you so much for this. You already convinced me to buy an Arc Surround setup. Now buying a second sub as well. Looking forward to your next subs placement video...

I moved a sub from the garage gym to my home theater room in attic (Arc, two play 1s and generation 2 sub) and placed the subs in the front two corners, ran TruePlay and adjusted settings as you recommend for the Arc and holy cow, it sounds insane now. The bass was great with one sub but with two subs I can't tell where it is coming from and I feel it in my body as well. Feels just like the movie theater now. Very happy with how it sounds.

Just bought into Sonos. Well better than others I tested in my home without putting wires all over in my walls

[krnvirsingh]

You are amazing man! You have answer to any Sonos thing. My future setup would be arc+2 SLs + 2Subs

[rnicarho]

Glad you are feeling better. I wish Sonos made a smaller sub with a smaller price tag. I love my Sonos sub but they need more options. Especially if I wanted to a beam setup for my bedroom

Nice video again! Thanks and iam pretty excited to see more from the move and dual sub. Enjoy your trip Peter

Just picked up the sub, it’s a night and day difference, the bass just fills the air! I have completed my home theater, I just need a couple more 1’s or 5’s and my home will be complete.

Ho Seh Liao! Received my Second Gen 3 Sub today. Bought another because I can also move it around and add it to different rooms. Added it to my Arc system in my Man-cave. It’s a small bonus room above our garage. Listening space is about 18x11 feet. I also have surrounds in there and the second Sub just opened the whole range so much more. I didn’t think the sub would be this transformative. To my ears, after running true play, it sounds like the mids and highs opened up even more. It’s nuts how good it sounds now! I used to have my bass level at +7 with one Sub, now I have to bring it down to +2, because I can feel the extra pressure at higher volumes 😂. Loving it and your videos!!!

Thanks again!

[harryechiverri]

As always great review mate! See you on your next video.

[chadsnyder]

Hi Peter. I really enjoy your channel and videos. As an owner of a pair of Sonos One’s, i’d love to see you do a video comparing the audio tests with these speakers with and without a Sonos sub. I’d love to see the frequency range of the SLs with and without the sub.

Keep up the great work and I look forward to your future videos.

[jaimeguaderrama]

Thank you for your videos. I own the Sonos complete home theater system 5.2.2 ( Sonos Arc, Gen3 subs, and the play ones). I’m learning a lot about Sonos from your videos. They are very helpful. Can’t wait to watch the next video regarding dual subs placement.

With the introduction of the Era 300s, would you rather have 1) Era 300s for surrounds with 1 Sub gen 3, or 2) 2 Sub gen 3s with 2 sonos ones or 100s for surrounds. Great videos as always.
