Hi, everyone. I’m going to start acquiring parts for my first [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) build soon. I’m probably going to get my shell from Nickatron but I want to get the lights and sounds from GBfans. I’m a complete noob at electronics so a bit nervous about it. My question, is this all the items I need to make the whole thing work? I’m based in the UK so if any UK based members know if I can get any of it in the UK please let me know.

1: Pack: Amplified Sound Board

2: Pack: Proton Gun / Wand Light Kit

3: Pack: [Power Cell](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/power-cell) and [Cyclotron](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/cyclotron) Light Kit

4: Proton Gun / Wand [Ribbon Cable](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/ribbon-cable) Connection

5: [Power Cell / Cyclotron Ribbon Cable Connection](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/power-cell-cyclotron-ribbon-cable)

6: Wand Light Kit Replacement Switches

7: [40 Watt Shielded Speaker](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/40w-shielded-speaker)

8: [9 Volt Battery Snap Connector](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/9-volt-battery-snap-connector) (x3)

Thanks and sorry if this has been asked/answered before. I did look but couldn’t find the information.

that looks about right, although I am a NOOB too, lol. I just ordered the light kit myself, seems pretty easy especially no soldering!!

Almost! The replacement switches are ONLY needed if using a throwing chicken resin thrower (which are amazing, btw). My recommendation is to ditch the 9V wires and go for the 12V blue-brick battery. The [ribbon cables](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/ribbon-cable) will carry the power from the sound board to the wand and pack lights.
