Pretty easy install everything lined up. Adjusted the potentiometer on the flex amp to get the max volume I wanted. Has full range adjustability. You can actually set it too high to where it will start to "clip". Very clean install.
P.S. if you hear crackling, your speaker is probably hitting the grill of the case which can be fixed by lowering the amplification. I spaced my speaker out a bit with thin enameled wire and trimmed the speaker feet to get more volume, more of a speaker issue. Mine is the 2W speaker.
Great modification. Pretty easy to do. I can hear my games in noisy environments.
Excellent upgrade. I bought it knowing that I would it figure it out. Volume is excellent. For those looking to adjust the potentiometer, by trial and error I found out that turning clockwise lowers de voltage (bringing the max volume a little lower but also allowing to lower volumes to be played when bringing the volume wheel below 50%). I kept mine that it mutes around 25% but still brings a nice loud volume. There was no noise from the speaker, even when bringing the potentiometer higher. I also upgraded to the 2W speaker as needed.
It’s my first time doing soldering in over 3 years ever since the pandemic I’ve been doing mods for classic consoles. I’m still getting the hang of it. Thank you!
TLDR; The amp works nicely but is cheaply manufactured. Put any pressure on the resistors and they will fall off the board.
Installation was a breeze, and it sounded pretty good-even with the OEM Game Boy Advance speaker. That is, it was good untill it mysteriously stopped working on day 3. After inspecting it, turns out one of the resistors fell off, and I was unable to find it. Additionally, as I was taking it out, I grabbed one of the resistors with my tweezers and the resistor practically slipped right off the board. Gentle pressure with my thumb slid away another one after that. Sad, as I had really enjoyed the sound quality it had before it died.

Like another, sound completely cuts out when the GBA wheel goes under 50% however very loud above 50% with no noticeable hissing/hum. Was an easy 5 min install with a new 2W speaker. There is a lack of info on adjusting the mini potentiometer one way or the other outside of using a 2mm flat screwdriver. It does what it's advertised to do - however some mini potentiometer adjustment info would save a lot of time and having to remove the GBA board repeatedly so I deducted a star. Otherwise this thing is now quite audible.
