Hi diyaudio,
I'm a high school band director looking to make some small, battery operated, bluetooth enabled, boxes for use in our music program. Imagine a group of musicians goes to practice some music somewhere in our music building and needs a solid, loud metronome and/or playback box. Ideally the box gets loud enough to be a metronome source for a group of brass players to play to.
I'm looking at the Faital pro 3FE26 or one of its older variants if it's easier to get ahold of.

If I get a bluetooth amp board like this
https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Amplifier-Board-BK3266-Audio/dp/B08FWV4PLP
Do I need any crossover really? Or just let the natural frequency response of the speaker just do its thing?
Any recommends on drivers, amp boards, other things that might suit this project? Trying to remain low cost, but deliver decent quality.

Sounds like a fun project. I have played around with the 3FE20, it's a nice sounding speaker. Just don't expect much bass from it. It may start to distort if you play it too loud with lots of bass. As a metronome it will surely be sufficient though.
Also don't forget that you need a power supply for the amp board 😉
