Step-by-Step Connecting Sonos Subwoofer
So, here are the steps to help you connect the Sonos subwoofer. Follow the steps and connect the subs! Enjoying music isn’t tough!
Step 1: The Right Placement
First of all, you have to set the subwoofers in the right place and then add power to them. Once you have added power to it, you must ensure that one side of the slot is kept away from any obstruction.
