Hacking the Sonos Ikea Symfonisk Into a High Quality Speaker Amp (By Ben Hobby)

[redshift]

This is an active crossover plate amplifier that has filters tuned specifically for the drivers and enclosure it was attached to. Connecting it to a different set of drivers in a different enclosure through an existing passive crossover is not going to produce anywhere near a flat frequency response. TruePlay is just a simple room correction software that utilizes the microphone in an iOS device. It is not going to modify the crossover settings to match the new speaker and I doubt it will be able to overcome the terrible frequency response created by doing this hack.

I was thinking the same. A heavily DSP’d box that is tuned to sort out some of the worst vibrations and modes certainly isn’t going to perform well with the generic bookshelf loudspeaker.

Hey all, have someone tried this? https://www.thetylergibson.com/ikea-symfonisk-amp-modification-guide/amp/
That way the amp can be switched to the bridged mono mode giving 100w according to datasheet. Would be really interested in the results
