Step 2 Solder on wires

When you've cut the arms away from the platters, solder wires to the voice coil tips (where they were soldered to the cable which you just cut).

You might have to remove the top magnet to have easier access for soldering. To do this, drill out the screw heads keeping the magnet on from the other side of the case. Even then, the top magnet is pretty damn hard to get off, you'll have to pry it off with a screwdriver.

Then you might find it easier to solder to the coil ends if you pull the ends off of wherever they were soldered, this way the ends are free and not so close together.

Why on earth would you EVER drill screws? just grab a star head screw driver (or whatever they're called) and unscrew those screws!

THIS is awsome im doing this thing for a project you did good i just finished in your last step its true that you should use a song with a lot of treble because if you had a song with a lot of bass you wouldn't be able to hear the song and couldn't really test it .......well good jb on this this is cool
