Cool Video, I've been on Sonos Bandwagon going on 7 years, 3 different setups arc, sub & era300
Sound is incredible for cost not too mention Wireless. If you're reading this & on the fence about Sonos ,, give your ears the sound it deserves, u won't be sorry. Avoid the cost up front. Well worth it. Sonos for life.
Thanks ! I agree, going to be installing the Arc very soon ! can't wait !
Thanks, one thing the video didn't mention how the sound was, I mean did it sound ok or? There are some of these speakers on sake for 169 and I was thinking of using them to add Dolby atmos but not sure if I need some kind of special speaker or these will be good enough
Sonos doesn’t make in ceiling speakers. Those are sonance. A fully independent speaker company that teamed up with sonos. You can use any in ceiling speaker on the planet with sonos amps.
True dat !
@@RandomAF0001 right but you can only 2 pairs of non sonance vs 3 pairs of sonance with true play function that substantially increases the quality of the sound
Great video! I just purchased everything using your links for our boutique hotel. Thank you!🔊🔊🔊
Dude - you're going to love it ! lol... i'm soon adding a soundbar to my system, can't wait.
@@FamilyDIYtv Sonos is great. I have the sub, soundbar, two SL’s, and a roam at my personal home. The roam is great bc I can take it to areas the sound doesn’t reach in the house and not have to turn the system up just to hear dialogue. ✨👌🏾
Will be nice potentially in 2024 when sonos releases the much needed arc 2.0 better updates & full dolby atmos. The original arc us still awesome but can be better . Just don't over spend on sonos like i did lol, but i don't regret it but my neighbors hate it, when there walls flex & vibrate.
Wondering if you ever posted video on how to integrate with sound bar and connect for simultaneous sound
i have not yet made that video, i do have the soundbar and sub hooked up to TV now.. it's awesome ! i love it... will be making video soon !
Cool video, looking to do this on my home soon. I want to add speakers all over the house (kitchen/bedrooms/dining/laundry/master_closet/etc). Should I be looking at getting more than one amp? thanks!
Yes each zone should be amp - can get $$$ I buy one a year … lol.
So the speakers just fasten to the drywall / ceiling? About to do this myself!
Yep. 👍
Would have been cool to see how to run the wires between floors, but great video nonetheless
great review. Why not go bluetooth?
Been there done that. Sonos works way better and a lot better performance, meaning connection. But does cost $$$. Only downside.
Also Bluetooth speakers need power ran to them.
Sonos just needs small
Speaker wire.
So the speakers have a bit of weight to them.. are just the plaster board on the ceiling strong enough to hold their weight without anything to brace it to take the load from one of the timber joists/rafters?
Completely fine with just drywall
wow-really!!!!..you cheaped out and used "navepoint"(its horrible...bought some and it was garbage) wire on high-end speakers...
They screw into the sheetrock? No beam?
Well kinda, they clamp onto the drywall, not screw. I was a little surprised… but they’re fine.
Cable mgmt is just scary for me. Maybe i will get to that one day! Lol. Great video though
agree- that's the hardest part of this !
I am building my house and we wanted this Sonos speakers, the space is 40x20ft, how many should we install? Also if I want to play music on music in the kitchen with 2 speakers, and then only play the sound from the the tv in another 2 in the living room, then I need 2 separate amps?
Is the tv in that same space ? If yes. I’d install arc soundbar under tv and sub.
Then install 4 or 6 ceiling speakers on a separate amp.
Yes each “zone” needs an amp.
But the arc would be a zone and the 4/6 speakers connected to the amp would be a zone.
Thank you! The 20x40ft space will have a tv in the living room. As you said I can use the arc for the tv. I was thinking maybe 2 in ceiling speakers and 1 amp for the kitchen, then 2 in ceiling and 1 amp for the back of the living room. And arc for the front of the living room by the tv. What cable do I need for the in ceiling? I found the one you used, but you also say that there maybe a better one? Any recommendations? Also the arc doesn’t need to be hardwire right? And can arc and 1 of them amps play sound at the same time? I was thinking in using the 2 in ceiling speakers as “surround sound” in combination with arc.
@@FamilyDIYtvI wish they would come out with a way to select which speakers you want to play that are on a single amp. Like a zone within a zone. I was going to install 6 Sononce speakers on an amp (2 in family room above couch, 2 in kitchen, 2 on sundeck/patio), and use that for music and watching TV. Sadly learned that would mean if using the sonance speakers for TV, then that would be heard everywhere there’s a speaker on that amp, at the same volume.
Now, going to go with a Sonos arc and sub and maybe some Sonos ones.
Any other options to still leverage in-ceiling speakers without getting a separate amp?
@@g.thandi824 I hear ya. You could still do what you want but run the speaker wires through an additional switch. So you can “manually” (physically). Turn of which zone you want. I think they also make Bluetooth switches. Google speaker selector switch.
@@FamilyDIYtv that’s such a simple yet super smart idea. Thank you! Before that, I was thinking I could go to the amp and disconnect the speakers I didn’t want to be playing - lmao. Was thinking of wall mounting the amp in the pantry in the kitchen (family room and kitchen are in the same area). Is there any advantage that I am missing to having the amp by the TV? Also, how high are your ceilings? Mine are only 8 foot in this section of the house (total space of family room and kitchen is about 14’ wide by 32’ long) - so going back and forth with whether in ceiling speakers could ultimately be overkill vs just an Arc and sub.
That's fancy. I gotta shove my 70's water cooled 40" blaupunkt speaker in the walls now?!
I know a couple that cannot get sonos to play with their overhead speakers. Is there something that they need to do?
tough to say... can they get anything to play on the speakers? The speakers are passive, so anything should be able to play through them.
@@FamilyDIYtv no sound at all.
Are you adding a sub?
yep, i added sub and soundbar ! it's awesome, will be making updated video very soon
Can I use a Sony receiver 7.2 Dolby? With the Sonance speakers and sub woofers ?
I don’t see why not.
I currently run a 7.2 (arc, 2 era 300's , 2 subs) sounds phenomenal. Don't need ceiling speakers . The new Era 300 are amazing additdion to the sonos family and way better trhan the 5's & dolby atmos
It doesnt connect to my internet through the amp for wifi not ethernet.
You could’ve just put your Sonos amp near the tv and run a hdmi cable from the eARK port to the Sonos amp.
Agree ! I’m gonna do that once I get the sonos arc sound bar.
She sounds thrilled
Can you tell ??? Lol.
Which amp did you use?

Can you volume up or down separately?? I mean if u want turn of speakers in living room but make louder in kitchen or otherwise. Can u do it?? I want install speakers in whole house but if I am sitting in one room i don’t need play music in whole 3 story house. That’s why I am looking for specific receiver.
you can control each amp separately. So if your living room has AMP and kitchen has another amp, then yes. But if all on same amp, no.
great video!
What if i want to connect 8 or even 12 speakers. Do I need a amplifier for every 4?
if that's the case, can they all be used to play same source at the same time?
Can all amplifiers can be synced?
thanks in advanced.
What if i want to connect 8 or even 12 speakers. Do I need a amplifier for every 4? - officially yes, but could push to six maybe...
if that's the case, can they all be used to play same source at the same time? they can all be synced up very easily or play separate. it's works great.
Can all amplifiers can be synced? yes and you can even sync all amps, soundbars and subs you have in your house if you want... or have all separate, as well as control the volume on each on separately or all together. it works great
how flush is the grills?
You explained the wiring of the speakers to the amp poorly. This is a very important step and should be more detailsd
Thanks !
So you dropped $2k on a few speakers. Yep, affordable😂
Thanks ! :)
Was 4 speakers loud enough?
It’s 100 percent loud enough, but probably should have went with six. Reason being during parties it nice to have the speakers lower but more of them. Fills the space with music without it being to loud where you can’t have a conversation…. I’d always go more, like lights. Can always turn down or dim(in case of lights).
@@FamilyDIYtv did you go with 6 1/2 inch or 8 inch?
@@robertslayton6574 6m1/2
Hi great video, thank you. I noticed you have both speakers wired under the same terminals. Up to how many speakers can you fit on there? If you want a multi zone speaker setup would you just have to buy more amps?
Correct- Each zone would be a separate amp. I’d say two speakers per wire. If you wanted to push it could do three.
@FamilyDIYtv I appreciate the quick reply, thank you sir 🙏
is it possible to connect these in ceiling speakers to Bluetooth on my phone?
if you had this exact setup, no. but if you had the same speaker you could run them to a bluetooth amp and then yes. .... but i've had both. Sonos is by far a better setup, but you do pay for it.
if forever home, i'd go with sonos...
Are you able to stream from you tube on the Sonos app?
YES, just use airplay ... just tested it. It's awesome
Bro can i use an auxiliary cable instead of Bluetooth with that system?
there's a few connections, check a picture of the back of the unit to see what can be plugged in, you can input music from 'wire'
🎉thanks
Thank you !!!!
Good stuff, thank you
What gauge speaker wire is that
The wires in my Amazon store. Link is in description
Taking a whole or sections of ceiling is out of the question, this is double the work...
i was in middle of huge kitchen reno... but can be done without removing ceiling, would be challenging tho, like installing lighting.
Did you ever do the Arc integration video? Did you set up the ceiling speakers as 5.1 system surrounds? If so, do movies sound strange when you're in the kitchen since you only get the surround channels? I assume music is fine since you'd get two-channel stereo?
I have not setup the arc yet- I’ll be doing that in the fall(project got postponed-lol)
I will use the kitchen speakers with arc but mostly for music and sports games. Not movies, I could, I guess.
