Project Parts List:
Nice! I’m really digging the clear acrylic box. I think there is so much beauty in all the electronics that make up speaker/amp/bt boxes that it’s almost a shame to hide it. Nice job on making it look so organized. I like the inset aux jack and volume pot detail too. How easy is it to access the batteries if you need to remove/replace them?
