## Questions & Answers

**Q: can I directly connect it to 3.5mm audio jack? or should I have a capacitor in between? the sound is very very low right now.**
A: You'll need to incorporate a LM386 operational amplifier. Google search "lm386 audio amplifier circuit diagrams", test one out on a breadboard, and change capacitor and resistor values until you find the sound you like.

**Q: How can you tell which are the positive and negative wires? Picture shows both as white**
A: I don’t believe it makes a difference

**Q: is there a positive/negative wire? or it doesn't matter?**
A: Doesn’t matter

**Q: I wonder if it fits nicely in a gba sp, or a nintendo ds lite ?**
A: It fits perfectly
