Arduino Wiring Jetpack Lights and Sound (Battery, 2 amps, 3 speakers, 2x 61 led neopixel rings & 5V motor)

Hi everyone,

Hope you are doing well. I was wondering if this circuit is wired correctly to an Arduino Uno and if I need any resistors or capacitors or anything to make sure it will work properly and safely. I also don't know what kind of battery to use. Can I just use a multimeter to find out the current for everything and buy a battery based on that? I can't find data sheets for all the components. Here is a picture of the circuit diagram. Any help would be appreciated.

The circuit is programed on an Arduino Uno. The code runs so that when a button is pressed Amp 1 starts playing along with the motor starting. Then, the neopixel rings start to fade in and then twinkle. After 4 seconds Amp 2 plays while the lights still twinkle. When the button is released Amp 1 plays, the motor shuts off and the lights fade out.
 
That could be quite interesting but the circuit diagram isn't readable in its current form.

It is far too large, so that details are not visible when the whole circuit is viewed. I'm using a 1920 x 1080 resolution monitor and I can't see any of the IC pin functions at the same time as seeing where they go.

You have something odd in the connections above and too the right of the battery. It seems that a wire is crossing the battery positive connection only to join it further up.

You should avoid having wires that join at a point, like you have at above the battery. When zoomed out to see the whole circuit, it is difficult to see if the wires cross or join. You should have two T-shaped joints instead.
