The rounded corners of the speaker do not fit nicely into the corners of the Altoids tin. Use diagonal cutters to cut away at the two left corners and increase the radius of the curve. Before assembly, check that the speaker fits snuggly under the left hand lip of the tin.

When soldering, loop the wires through the holes in the lugs for extra reinforcement. Add pieces of 1/16" heat shrink tubing to prevent abrasion. Note that the wires go to the left when the speaker is upside down and will go correctly to the right when the speaker is right side up in the tin. Note that the red wire is above the black wire.
