**Update**
Changelog from prototype to final unit.
- Removed mounting point directly under PCB. I am doing final testing with 4 mounting points on top and bottom instead of 3.
- Adding 1 piece of poron case foam to the kit. I think the board sounds really nice without it, but it does improve the board sound slightly.
- Working on securing horizontal alignment. Right now there is a small bit of space from left to right, so will build in tabs to secure this spacing.
