Hey, first thing—take a meter and log every reading. Know the maximum safe voltage and current for each component, then stay under that by a decent margin. Use a proper heat sink and keep the airflow clean; heat is the biggest silent killer. And if you’re pushing the amp, add a small series capacitor just before the speaker— it smooths transients and protects the driver. Finally, label your spare cells with names like “Tesla” or “Curie”; it’s fun, and if you mis‑wire something you’ll see the tag and laugh before anything breaks. Just follow the numbers and you’ll stay safe while getting that raw sound.

Sounds good, just double‑check the power rating before you crank it up. If you hit a snag, pause and measure again. Keep it neat, and the amp will give you that raw tone without blowing a fuse. Good luck!
