dude you guys are the absolute BEST installers I have ever seen. Serious. GREAT WORK and wish you all the BEST business in the world! You deserve it!!!!!!
I am in Allen area, looking for an outdoor speakers on my patio but I don't have pre-wires. Is there a wireless option available? I am not interested in those small bluetooth speakers. I want something permanent.
Why not hardwire the sonos vs using the boost? You'll need to disable wifi on the sonos to ensure you don't have a spanning tree loop, but it'll be a more reliable signal. Also, sonos does say they can handle 4 speakers per amp (6 if you use the sonos/sonance architectural speakers), so no worries there. To keep it super slick, I'd throw a middle atlantic sonos rack (RSHA-SONOS-AMP6 would be perfect) and a fan directly above or below the amps as they do get pretty toasty...
I hope you see this. I want to purchase a rack (maybe the strong?) and saw your comment about the sonos rack which I was not aware of. Does this fit in a a rack from Strong?
Very nice, just wondering if electrical code where u are is different than where I am? Need to be an electrician to do electrical work, or the home owner.
As the home owner you are allowed to personally do whatever you would like to your home. On the flip side you cannot hire a company or handyman to come out and install things not to local code.
Dear owner zak and team of dream media. I have watched 100s of your videos. Really love your energy and passion for bringing best possible av experience to your customers. In this video I also appreciate your sense of caution of poor wiring and its fire hazards . Also love your sensibility to not to capture and show personal space like bedrooms to us youtubers . Very nice gesture that one
Hi guys great job but I have a question for you I’m looking to install 1 tv for inside my house with 5 speakers to the Sonia amp and I also want to install 5 speakers by my pool area with another Sonos amp zone 2 but my question is how can I get the tv sound from both zone 1 inside the house and outside by the pool zone 2
I wonder with these amps centrally installed, there must be some (very) long speaker wire cable runs throughout the house. How do you prevent interference? As these long speaker cable runs are basically antennas, I'd expect them to pick up some noise? Do you shield them in any way?
Maybe this is a stupid question but why 6 amps? Wouldn't they have had less components had they gone with a single unit capable of multiple zones for much cheaper? I seriously wish your team was closer. We bought a house with 15 ceiling speakers and the previous homeowner left an old Control 4 system that obviously I can't access. Trying to get help here in Pennsylvania is a joke. Two no shows by the local Control 4 dealer and another that wanted nothing to do with it. Your team seems like they know what they're doing, respect the house they're in and have fun doing it.
I have two Sonos amp connected to four speakers - front LR and back LR. I also have two Sonos One that I want to use as center surrounding, and a subwoofer. How do I put everything into a 7.1 surrounding?
I want to use the same set of in ceiling speakers for my two rears with my Sonos Beam as well as for music for whole house audio. Would I be able to do that with this amp? Thanks!
really nice vid watching from the uk im an electrician myself doing a job for my father at the minute hes building a new house and got to use 12 sonos amps and having a full matrix tv system would be nice to see a video on a matrix system
I was thinking of getting the Sonos Beam with Sonos Sub vs the Playbar due to the HDMI connection a For Home Theatre. To complete a 5.1 sound would you recommend a pair of Play 5 or Sonos In Ceiling or In Wall speakers?
I’m curios why you don’t just go with a multizone amp that distributed audio throughout the house, and then connect one sonos amp to that? Wouldn’t it be much cheaper and easier for both the customer and installing? Also, the bridge is no longer necessary. The amps act as a bridge as well.
nice work! how do you have the patio setup when it comes to being able to select sonos audio, or tv audio with tv video playing? (like a playing the game with music in the background) Are you using Sonos amp with ARC and choose source audio in Sonos app? receiver for multiple video sources?
The Sonos Amp has a HDMI input. If they are using an HDMI balun it converts HDMI digitally to be carried over a Cat5 or Cat6. A Balun has a transmitter and receiver interlinked by the Cat5 or 6.
I realize that isn't an expensive Projector, but I also know it isn't water proof. Are they just gonna by a new one every time it rains or there's condensation from the outside on it?
@@Dreamediaav Surprising after the fuss made over a tiny bit of diy taping around a few wires which is less of a risk than agreeing to install a non-compliant and potentially dangerous appliance. I would have thought the sensible and safest thing to do would have been to lay all the cable infrastructure and then let the client hook it up later, by you hooking it up surely you now take on some sort of responsibility should it burn the house (or even the forest as you pointed out) down. Or did they have to sign a waiver of sorts.
What's your opinion of VSSL distributed audio system? Cheaper than six Sonos amps you used in the video and in one unit so less power cords which I also like. Building home next year and evaluating options. Thanks!
Ya or just fish it all down the wall.. cut in an inwall enclosure for all the splicing, cut in a double gang with a snorkel plate and snakeskin it into the bottom of the rack.
You guy as awesome. I really love your content. As a tv installer I see bad things like this all the time and I love the fact that you guys wanna make sure everything is up to code. Good well done.
how did they play games with the console in the rack? isnt the controller too far from the console should they play in the patio or even the media room?
I have a question for anyone and everyone with knowledge on connecting a projector to Sonos amp and sonance outdoor speakers combo..I already have the amp and the outdoor speakers installed. What do I need to do to have a projector connect to the amp...thanks in advance. I'll thanks everyone personally
Great info!! Really quick question 😬: I have a full BOSE SoundTouch 300 set up and I want to switch over to Sonos. Can I add a Sonos Connect to my Bose SoundTouch 300 to be able to play music with all of my other Sonos speakers?
hi zack! your videos have inspired me to start getting into the business of installing a/v systems. How would i get that started? what products should i use?
Nice presentation🔥🗣 How are you handling customers passwords to setup all of these Apps and smart TVs since they all require accounts and passwords to operate? Just to setup Google wifi network now requires Gmail info and customers PERSONAL Gmail Password 🤐 My last client was out of state when i finished their installation. I quickly realized it's basically impossible to setup a system now without a client on site. 😣🤣😣
These videos are really cool, help us all try to make sense of all this stuff. Curious what you really think of the SONOS Amps? $649 for a 2 channel amp? I have a really hard time stomaching that, I mean why on earth would that make any sense?
In the higher end audio world, that is competitive pricing. You could definitely pay a LOT more for those results. Sonos knows they have an amazing product and it truly is a a multi zone audio integrators dream. You could get 6 sonos ports at $450 and get a russound 16 channel amp or episode or a host of other brands that make QUALITY gear and get same results but its basically gonna cost the same. Idk, maybe amazon sells some cheap crap you can buy for $5 bucks. Get some hanoi wifi cams too, hehehe.
@@BIGLOS___ Not even close. The 6 amplifiers alone cost at least 3500. Each ceiling speaker is 300, and they probably have like 12 or 16 of those. They installed a new TV, added outlets. New projector. New 5.1 surround. New home theater setup with controls. All the wiring and routing. The server room setup. This is very easily a $15,000 setup and install. I think likely more.
@@BIGLOS___ six amps at $600 each plus all the ceiling speakerss and wiring etc. I think someone needs to check some prices. Even at a start I would say equipment alone would top $10k
I guess the foot booties were a fashion statement? They were in your back pocket during the reveal!! LOL. Just kidding, very nice job, especially the neat wiring at the rack.
I wonder if it would have made more sense to switch to Lithe Audio speakers...no amps or wiring to receivers needed and you can run multi rooms via wifi (or Blutooth for even less money). But nice job anyway
What on earth for ?, I and everyone else can understand perfectly well what is being said and done in a very clear and natural fashion. No need for Christopher Nolan to step in.
dude you guys are the absolute BEST installers I have ever seen. Serious. GREAT WORK and wish you all the BEST business in the world! You deserve it!!!!!!
Did you just connect that toner to the red and black wires and the siren came out of the speakers?
I am in Allen area, looking for an outdoor speakers on my patio but I don't have pre-wires. Is there a wireless option available? I am not interested in those small bluetooth speakers. I want something permanent.
using the optical input on a zone (sonos amp), there's a delay when you group with another zone? (another sonos amplifier)
Why not hardwire the sonos vs using the boost? You'll need to disable wifi on the sonos to ensure you don't have a spanning tree loop, but it'll be a more reliable signal. Also, sonos does say they can handle 4 speakers per amp (6 if you use the sonos/sonance architectural speakers), so no worries there.

@@stevehoyle1157 the middle Atlantic rack mount kit will fit in any standard size rack- including ones from strong
What app are you guys using for the integration??
Great clean job!
You use hdmi arc for patio but would the red/white audio work as well? With one sonos amp what does a speaker selector enable?
it will
Can you link all the zones together so the same thing is playing throughout the entire house?
Absolutely! Thanks for the comment Eric. Give us a shout and we can walk you through a setup for yourself 👍🏻

As the home owner you are allowed to personally do whatever you would like to your home. On the flip side you cannot hire a company or handyman to come out and install things not to local code.
For Sonos Amps there is 2u vented rack shelves. Looks much more professional and amps don’t heat each other at least

Are the outdoor screen area speakers driven by the surround sound receiver or a Sonos amp?

So did you use two Sonos amps to power the 4 outdoor in ceiling mounted speakers and what kind are those? Or what kind would you recommend.

Outdoor projector? Hope it doesnt rain
Do you guys work in Keller?
Kids bedroom... What should we play? Lets go for "If i die young" by The band perry... Excellent video btw!
Zack, Can I power an outdoor sub woofer with the new Sonos amp? I want to install a buried sub in the backyard.
are you sure you dont need more juice for the sub?
What is the need for the Sonos Connect? Is it purely for patching in the AV receiver and other external wired/'dumb' sources?
input whatever you like. its all controlled with your smart phone or tablet. easy peasy

One quick question how is it you could use the sonos rear patio zone with projector?
The Sonos Amp has a HDMI input. If they are using an HDMI balun it converts HDMI digitally to be carried over a Cat5 or Cat6. A Balun has a transmitter and receiver interlinked by the Cat5 or 6.
Awesome job really laid back attitude Love it... Keep it up!!!
Hey! Why 16/4 wire instead of 16/2?
Did y’all consider cooling for that closet?
Sure
I realize that isn't an expensive Projector, but I also know it isn't water proof. Are they just gonna by a new one every time it rains or there's condensation from the outside on it?
the customer knew it wasnt outdoor rated or water proof. they wanted it installed anyways.

Great video, but all the cabling in the corner of the room has left a huge mess. Why not run some white trunking down the corner and hide it all?

How did you setup the 5.1 system with Sonos?
Any sonos soundbar + sonos sub + 2 x unit of play 1 or play 3 or play 5 or 1 sonos connect or conmect amp attached to 2 left and right speaker
Setup will be using the sonos app, just follow the onscreen instruction inside the sonos app itself
how did they play games with the console in the rack? isnt the controller too far from the console should they play in the patio or even the media room?
Thats why you hire an integrator bra
can you play the same channel music through all the zones with sonos at same time?
yes you can
I have a question for anyone and everyone with knowledge on connecting a projector to Sonos amp and sonance outdoor speakers combo..I already have the amp and the outdoor speakers installed. What do I need to do to have a projector connect to the amp...thanks in advance. I'll thanks everyone personally
Is it standard to have one amp per zones? Looking at the price of the amp+ speaker it sounds really expensive and overkill in terms of hardware space
one per zone is the way to do it. You can use one amp for up to 4 speakers even though its not published
You guys have any competition with Magnolia HiFi via best buy?
Never heard of her hahaha :) Our prices consistently beat the big box stores. Give us a should to see what we can do for you
Ya and ac cube power taps are a fire risk too
I’d love to have this done in my house just alittle out of my price range, However I am slowly converting all my speakers over to klipsch
Do you need an electrical license to run the new outlets?
Great video to send to the local building department they would get fined on the spot.
can u use those sonos amps with any speakers ..?...great job
yes Sir
Great video, wanted to know your thoughts on Bluesound devices in comparison to Sonos
we have sonos installed thoughout the entire dreamedia property. Does that help?
Bluesound def sounds better if you play hi-res content. Need to keep it hardwired though 👍

My only worry is the projector outside how has it feared with the weather etc
I spotted another code violation, wearing sunglasses inside lol jk. Great videos, always enjoy watching good A/V installations.

You were better off doing a balun instead of running an HDMI. If anyone is doing 4k it won't travel over 15 feet unless you buy an active HDMI.
