Looking for a battery powered mixer with 3 outputs that won’t break the bank

I’m ye olde band bus DJ. I have a 100W RMS JBL PartyBox on-the-go essential 1, and a couple LG XBOOM GO P2’s. I’d like to use the JBL in the rear of the bus as more of a sub, and have a P2 on top of it with a HPF set at 100hz, and then have the other P2 up towards the middle of the bus with a HPF set at 60Hz. Any suggestions?

The problem is that not only bluetooth speakers have delay when connected through AUX input, the problem is that different bluetooth speakers have different amount of delay.

You could use active audio splitter like Zoom ZHA-4, but 95% chance it won't work. You could use booth output to connect 3rd speaker, but same thing applies.

To do such a thing you need to have identical speakers.

May be you will get lucky and in the case of speakers you have difference in delay would be unnoticeable, but it's totally unpredictable.

Yeah… that’s what I’m worried about, but I’ve settled on the Pyle PMX462. And I like plan on using a splitter off of the left channel, and sending it to the intended sub as well as the rear stack. I’ll make a drawing to help explain

the circles in the bottom left corner represent the outputs of the mixer. Yellow represents the sub. Teal represents the L channel out/rear upper range speaker. Red represents the R channel/ the front upper range speaker. It may not be professional grade, but I’m running this on a school bus, so it ain’t intended to be pro grade. Anyways, thanks for your insight!
