Altoids Tin Speaker

Step 8Preparing the Switch

Preparing the Switch
Thread the wires through the holes in the lugs and solder and reinforce the connections with 1/16" heat shring tubing. If this tubing does not fully cover the lug, slide a additional piece of 1/8" tubing on down to cover the lug and solder connection. Clamp the wires together with a short piece of 1/8" heat shrink tubing.

Cut the extra lug off the DPST switch if necessary (it may contact the bottom of the speaker and is not used in this project).

The wires need to be bent twice in order to fit around the speaker. They should follow the walls of the tin. Note that the red wire is above the black wire.
