After this the battery compartment will attach to the back of the speaker with two countersunk screws. When the board is done you will next attach the speaker to the mounting disk made of wood with two small pan head screws. The last item to be soldered to the bard is the switch which will allow the switching to and from mp3 mode to guitar mode as required. These will connect to the speaker and battery compartment later on. There is a strait one and a 90 degree one. Then following that was the two small connectors called headers. The first part to solder to the circuit board was the jack. I started the process by inventorying my parts and then started assembly. This kit will not only work with mp3 devises but also with an adapter a guitar can be connected to it and serve as a mini amp. If you want to they will sell you a jar with the kit so you don’t have to search one out separately. I provided my own jar as we have a plethora of jars around our home as I can never seem to find a reason to get rid of one… ever! Yes you could say I have a have hoarding problem. This kit looked easy enough however and it really looked like a lot of fun so I bit and bought the kit version.

I have never really been an electronics type guy and have never soldiered for example on a circuit board. I saw this kit online and really liked the uniqueness of it! They sell an assembled version and a kit version. How to make a speaker in a jar (Maker kit)
