Playing two Bluetooth devices simultaneously from iPhone and/or MacBook

My oldest is going to college soon, and as a graduation gift I got him wireless computer speakers and a wireless sub just so he can kick everyone else’s ass in the dorm.  No prob synching them both up and they both play individually via Bluetooth, but we’re having a hard time figuring out how to get them both to play simultaneously.  I think he’s got an iPhone 11 and the MacBook is relatively new so thinking they should have this capability and hoping someone here who’s been through this already might have some helpful tips.  Thanks for any help!

@kota1 Ha!  Interesting looking piece, but I took your initial wise advice and just ordered an RCA splitter that should solve all problems and will be here tomorrow (thank you Amazon Prime), and at $10 it’s a relatively cheap fix assuming it works of course.

@kota1 Just wanted to follow up that your splitter idea worked perfectly, and I like that we’re only using the one transmitter.  Sorry I forgot to take a pic but really not much to look at.  Of course now that it’s working my son informs me today he’s not taking the sub to school, at least initially.  Damn kids.  Anyway, thanks again for all your help!

Thanks for letting me know, you should get another splitter and use that sub your son didn't take yourself until he is ready for it. Check my profile you'll see I use a Klipsch sub too, I find them very smooth, hard to localize, and a nice upgrade for music and movies.
