About placing it inside mugen cover and audio cables going in and out - solution may be to solder it into N900 mainboard and use dead-flashing pins slot (under battery) to put cables inside mugen cover without outside route. If cable is flat enough - and audio cables may be very flat without sound problems - it will not stop battery from fitting in socket. Ho ever, this would need N900 disassembly (no problem at all cause it's easy), and i don't remember how shield was placed around audio jack on N900 = how hard it would be to solder it. Jack plug is quite big as for today's standards, so it shouldn't be too hard, if shielding doesn't permit approach.

If also jack port could be incorporated into mugen cover - just like Your charging plug - then You would have another jack port in N900 cover. Stock jack would be to use without AMP, and the second to use with.

Using an electronic part that i can't recall name for now, You can even make it that, only when something is plugged into amp-jack, they power to amp is activated. You know, switch that activates itself on closing other connection - it will work the same way as headphones detection on N900 (side note - headphones detection can be also relayed to that second jack port).

That would be ultimate maintenance free solution. You just plug something into amp port located on Your cover, and AMP automatically get powered up and start working. You plug into normal N900 audio port, and everything is "regular" way.
