Questions & AnswersAMANDA CLAIRE: You want to be careful drilling holes, especially if you're a kid and you haven't done much of this, make sure mom or dad helps you, but plastic is interesting stuff to drill into because it tends to grab the bit in kind of a sticky way, so you're really want to kind of make sure you're bracing whatever it is and it might get really hot and it might smoke the plastic a little bit but so we drill our hole here and I've actually already pre-drilled this hole. I'm just going to kind a clean it up a little bit here. So there's our hole what we're going to use to for the jack. And so now what we do is to we take the jack, we're going to put on the inside because it's installed on the inside and look, it fits there really nice. And because I picked my place, I mean I think this is true but I think it's going to clear kind of all this when I put it back together, and then what you do is you just take your washer next. Let's see, I'll get my little washer here, and I'll turn this up so you can sort of see it I'll turn it around here. So see, now I have the kind of threads sticking out, I'm going to put the washer there, I'm going to put the nut there and just kind of hand-tighten the nut and then you can use a little hand wrench or ratchet or something to get that really tight if you want. Hand tight, finger tight is probably good enough but then once that jack is installed, then you can go ahead and install the wires that carried over to the terminals on the circuit board or the speaker.
