Teehee!!! Thanks David!! ... when I produce these videos, I have a Cambridge Audio amp connected to a pair of mission 774s ... and I always love the BASS :-)

Somewhat shocking update: I did this hack last year (thanks btw), hooked up my sub and worked great, but a month ago, the sub blew (it was old, second-hand). Rather than toss the sub out, I cut out the plate amp electronic and ran the speaker wire from the Sonos Play:1 DIRECTLY to the (now) passive sub terminal connections. So my Play:1 is now driving a 12" subwoofer driver directly.....and amazingly, its driving it really well. Like shockingly well. Deep, full, soul-rattling bass and fairly loud volume levels, all coming from that tiny Play:1.

Good fellow! Works also perfectly fine with Sonos One (gen2). Very similar construction of this speaker to your Sonos 1!

It might be worth noting to turn down your Max volume of your Sonos speaker. My powered sub is only on the 2nd volume notch and that's plenty. If the volume goes too loud on the Sonos speaker, you could blow your sub. I turned my Sonos Max volume to 15 percent which works nicely. I have also noticed issues with this speaker now ungrouping on its own. Not sure if others have experience that, too?

Yeah ... sadly it’ll cost you that to ship to me in the UK... :-(. If you were in UK I’d be happy to do it for you!!!

These are part of an ecosystem, correct? One can buy a single speaker, and then complement that with, more, as need arises? Neat little hack, that.

Can you make me one please?

Strangely... I can’t seem to buy the sysonofnisk (ikea Sonos) speaker in Uk

The best hack can be achieved with an insulating 1:1 audio transformer, because the final stage is a bridge amplifier with no zero voltage on the speaker.

Sorry - expensive to post to UK

Way too much risk in wrecking a 200 dollar speaker imo.
