This thread will give you the basics of doing an MR sound install in a pre-made sinktube saber. the pre-made saber in question has a basic TCSS electronics kit to start with.
Here is the saber as it came to me:
First step was to disassemble it (here are the basic parts):
Next, I took everything apart, changed the battery pack to a 4aaa and made my batt/speaker module. That was then soldered and heatshrinked to the MR Obi soundboard. (There is no clash sensor in this build) Finally, I added a QD to the wiring harness and 1.25" BH. (note the zip ties taking the stress from the solder joints)
Next, I heatshrinked the board itself (with PVC heatshrink). This is important to do for MR boards to prevent shorts!:
Next, I slid everything in...attached the switch with it's nut and attached the QD. Finally slid the BH in and secured it with it's buttonhead screws (note the foam that prevents the board from rattling around since there is not chassis in this saber):
Last thing to do is test it (again):
Here is the battery installation tutorial:
