Hey,
I want to build a 3-driver stereo bluetooth speaker with the following components:
2x https://www.soundimports.eu/en/dayton-audio-ps95-8.html
1x https://www.soundimports.eu/en/dayton-audio-e150he-44.html
Is the sub to powerful for the 2 speaker?
Which amp could i use? I only found some that are eather to powerful for the fulrange-driver or to weak for the sub.
What are potential problems I could run into?
Thanks in advance

Depends!Is the sub to powerful for the 2 speaker
What is your planned spl?
At what frequency do you want to cross between sub and fr?
Do you plan to extend the subwoofer response at low end? (You can't have enough power for sub in this case!)
I don't plan on extending the sub at low end.Depends!

I want to use the speaker for my room so they don't have to be extremly loud but I would like to feel some airpressure and vibration if possible.
I saw some amps that had build in low and highpass filter so I thought I could use the build in cross, if that makes sense.
And I know that I don't need to reacht the max but I thought maybe 100w ins't enough to make my room vibrate.
An Amp I considered: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089KT3FG9?tag=gamepolar-t-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1&click=image
(Englisch isn't my first language and I don't have that much nolage about speakers, I just thaught that I might be able to build one my self and don't have to spend 1000 euro on a decent speaker. Sry If my anwsers make no sense)
Thank you for your time 🙂
Don't worry about the power, at least not the way you are looking at it, it isn't important.
It is OK to have a larger amp, you won't hurt the speakers if you don't turn it up too far.

the amp looks OK - you can wire the voice coils of the dayton woofer in parallel (for total 2 ohms) and get max available power from the TPA3116 woofer amp.
it's useful to have some added power for bass!
I did a similar project with my nephews, using a cheaper peerless woofer and two visaton fullranges. your drivers would probably sound much better!
make sure to build separate enclosures for all drivers. bass reflex enclosure would probably make sense for the woofer.
edit: attached pic of the box we built. this was just a fun project, without audiophile aspirations. still, i would not mount the full range drivers from behind the baffle again ...
can be driven with a power-tool-battery pack or a laptop-brick.
