Will this work?

Hello community!
I think I have figured out my setup but just wanted to get some other's thoughts before purchasing stuff.

Background:
I have three separate rooms that have pre-wired passive ceiling speakers.
I also have a Sonos Arc soundbar I can hopefully integrate into my solution (if not, no big deal).
The speakers are wired Sonance ceiling speakers, connected with speaker wire (see attached).

I am looking for a solution that allows me to play music in each room independently via Spotify or Apple Music.
I'm not looking for the BEST sound out of these speakers, they will be used for parties etc..

I think (please correct me if I am wrong) I can accomplish this with 3 Fosi Audio BT20A amps (the $60 ones) and 3 WiiM Mini's.
I'm not entirely sure how I would integrate the Sonos Arc into the solution (so that it will play at the same time one or multiple pairs of ceiling speakers are playing), but I believe I can create a group in the Spotify app that might cover this (have not tested yet).

Thank you in advance for any insight and advice.
Mike

Welcome.

So wiim mini aux out or bluetooth to each of the amps.
You're right - sound quality isn't the goal here

Don't know about Apple, but to be able to play spotify to each of the 3 rooms independently would, I'm pretty sure, mean 3 spotify accounts, and presumably 3 different devices (phone/tablet etc.) to control a stream each.
At that point I don't see a great benefit in using a mini vs just bluetooth from each phone.
However, for playing the same music in 2 or 3 rooms then the minis will help for sure.

Sonos ... no help there either, sorry!
Add another mini as a source? Maybe there's a better way!
