Position the audio board with the USB port at the edge of the Perma-Proto. Solder the leads in place:

Next add the amp as shown, and solder up the rest of the components according to the circuit diagram. Remember to use quick-connect wires for the LED inside the pushbutton.

Mark and cut a hole for the on/off switch at the base of the cup. Remove the switch's screw-ring and install the switch, reattaching the screw-ring on the inside.

Likewise make a hole for the volume adjustment knob at the side of the cup. The potentiometer attaches from the inside with a washer and nut on the outside, and the knob slips over from the outside.
