    Sonos is a public company and not owned by Amazon
    Amazon and Google, but I don't find the Google integration to be all that great. Google Assistant inexplicably stopped working for a few weeks after I started using it.

    I thought they owned a big chunk which is why they partnered on the Sonos one with Alexa. Oh, well.

    This is exactly how and why multi speaker systems work well. Speaker with large diaphragms (woofers and subs) aren’t good at high frequency noises, and vice versa with tweeters. The more you can divide the work between different speakers the better it is

    Not trying to be a condescending. Did you buy a van exclusively for tailgating?

    Similar to white noise but just a different frequency of sound. Plenty of examples online for you to compare.

    I’ve mentioned it a few times in this thread but make sure at least one of your Sonos devices is hardwired to your Ethernet. It takes the whole Sonos network off your WiFi and frees up a ton of bandwidth.

    Go on eBay and just buy a Sonos bridge for like $20. That should do the trick in opening up bandwidth frequency.

    Yes I bought a van just for tailgating. BUT let’s not get carried away it’s not new. It’s a 2018 with 15k miles which makes it a responsible purchase. Also we have our condo in Clemson but no car so I’ll actually save a little instead of having a rental.

    The plan right now is for a JBL sound system: subs, speakers, amp, etc + a 65 inch Samsung TV on a swivel extending mount out the back. All leather wrapped and with various Clemson logging. Everything will be backlit with orange lights. It will be wrapped in a tasteful purple to orange transition design. Inside is storage for tents, chairs, grill, cornhole, etc. I typically have about 30-50 at my tailgate during the season.

    As I’m a sucker for likes I’m sure I’ll start a thread as we get closer to production.

    Not sure the rules there but I would skip interior sound and go with an External system like a Fender or Behringer. The Bose towers are nice too. We use a BPA2000BT Behringer (I think that’s the model) and it’s cool because we can use it in any situation, also have a 12” sub and adding a 15” that’s all one thing. Works wonders if you want to do stuff other than simply tailgate with it. Also and I’m sure you know this but Honda generators are the only answer.

    Yeah the sound is all exterior facing (out the rear doors that open and lay flat) it’s probably going to be from JL marine line. The guys doing the work are audio experts so I told them to just take the idea and run with it. From what they told me it’s going to bump hard.

    I think it’s going to be ran off marine batteries hooked up to my generator to solve some of the wattage problems, but we aren’t that far down the road yet. I have a 2k Honda gennie May need to upgrade or get another to chain together.
