Is this the place for this kind of question? The hilt building forum had a sticky saying that it wasn't the kind of place for wiring questions, so I don't know where else. I've got a bunch of scattershot questions.
I think I went a little ambitious for my first saber design, but if I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it right! I put this together in the saber builder...

It's shaped a bit odd, which had me worried about internals. So, I whipped up a rough little diagram.

The blue gunk represents about where I want the speaker and its assembly to go. The black tube is where I plan to jam the battery, and the soundboard is where I plan to put the soundboard, mounted with some chassis parts. Those are all rough ideas. The switch and port are hovering, because I have no idea where to put them. I've never done this, so I need a sanity check from someone who knows what's up, someone who has had hands on. Is this possible?
I know the battery won't sit neatly inside the choke, so I've been thinking about rigging something up with the S9 chassis disks and some tape for padding. Is that crazy?
I'm probably going to end up using the Nano Biscotte instead of the Petit Crouton that you can see inside the Saber Builder, but I'm still worried about clearance between it and the LED. Come to think, are the sizes in the saber builder even accurate?
And the switch and recharge port...? I have no idea. Any advice on placement?
