    I'm a beginner and am planning on making a Bluetooth speaker. I've been watching a lot of videos on how to make a Bluetooth speaker but none of them have step by step instructions. I've seen many videos that say you need a BMS (battery management system) board which will protect the battery from overcharging and discharging. Also, you didn't have an LED for battery charging and complete indicator. Does the switch panel that you've installed have those built-in? If you can make another video showing on how to connect those items I mentioned or just reply to my comment, that would be great. Thanks.

      You may have a problem with your switch wiring. Are you able to hook your amp up directly to the battery, like I did at 6:00 in the video? If that is working it would tell you the problem lies in the switch. You may have damaged that component if hooked up wrong to the battery.

      @@kylewilliams3306 the Apiele latching switch can be confusing to wire, because there are multiple ways to wire it which do different things with the LED light .. I like the option where the LED light is only on when the switch is on.. they use different color wires so it’s tough to answer that.. I would recommend studying the diagram that comes with the switch - and testing it on a simple setup using only the battery and a small light or something.. then once you get it working properly you can wire in the other stuff.. I believe for that option there are two wires connected to each other going to the positive side of the device getting switched on, one wire is unused, one wire goes to positive of battery and one wire goes to negative of battery.. if you can’t get it, you can buy a more simple switch with only three wires without all the options with LED on the switch
