Hi All,
I am new to all of this, never before have I made a speaker but would like to try. I don't completely understand everything but I'm keen to make this Bluetooth speaker.
This is the list of parts I'm planning on buying please can somebody tell me if this will work. I don't have a big budget, trying to keep things on the cheap side, and because it's my first ever build if I mess something up don't want it to be pricey.
ZK-1002L MINI Bluetooth 5.0 DC 5-24V Wireless Audio Digital Power Amplifier StV7 194912630292 | eBay
QTX 3 Way Crossover - 3-way 6dB, 8 Ohms, 400W 5015972052945 | eBay
Professional 8" Inch 8 Ohm Replacement Speaker Cone Woofer Driver Spare Part 5055839136586 | eBay
Black 166mm 6.5 inch 60w RMS Bass Mid Range Round Speaker Driver 8 ohms | eBay
Piezo horn speaker tweeter piezoelectric head driver loudspeaker treble H BwZSK | eBay

Should I do this with the crossover or maybe a 2.1 amp?
Please forgive me if I posted this in the wrong topic or broke any rules by posting links.
Many Thanks

Welcome to the forum.
That amp is a decent one, it will require a healthy 19v power brick to get the most out of the amp.
Something over 200 watts.
The amp will require that both channels be connected when powered on, it may well self destruct if no load is present.
To start out, it’s often easier to get some used speakers and have a go at modifying, or repairing them in order to get a feel for things. It’s not likely that those ebay speakers and crossover will work together in a smooth manner like a commercial speaker without some extra work. Decent sounding speakers are a product of careful tuning, which can be expensive or time consuming at the least.
If you do want to actually make some speakers, I would recommend to start with a two-way design, are much easier to juggle. Maybe 6.5” + tweeter, or small coned speaker would be something that should work together with some effort/planning.

Thank you.
I Had no idea that amp could get damaged if I didn't use all the channels. thanks for sharing that with me.
Should I be better of with a 2-way crossover connected to 1 channel and a woofer connected to another channel without the crossover?
Would that work without damaging the amp?

Hi Pechula and welcome. I don’t think your post will attract much attention here. It’s best to repost it in the Loudspeakers > Multi-Way section. Maybe the Moderator can move it over?
As phase said – nothing wrong with the amp. But to make a nice sounding speaker it takes more than just 3 random drivers and a crossover.
Also a good idea to use a more descriptive title (of your planned project) for your thread to attract the right attention and expertise. Hope it helps you to find the right answers. Good luck with your project.

Thank you.
I will repost it into multi-way section.
I am trying to make it work, to build a little bit of confidence with this, I'm not bothered if its not perfect on the first go. From there I might see where did I go wrong and how can I make it better but I'm sure it will be easier second time once you have an idea of what are you doing.
Thank you again
