I have 2 sabers both compatible with sound but only one has sound installed. Would it be possible for me to take the sound systems out of one into another?
The Saber with sound pre-installed is a Sentinel v4 and the one I want to possibly add sound to is a Dominix Le v4.

Yes if course you can. Keep in mind that if they are both new you will void all warranties on them. So if you mess them up it is on you. 

You will have to cut wires and solder them back together, if you can do that you can change them.

If you plan on taking all the components from one and just moving it to the other all you have to do is label all wires so you connect them back correctly.

If they are different colors and you want to use the LED in the stunt saber you can do that. But unless your sound saber is using a buck puck you will have to change the resistor for the LED.

If you have no clue what I'm talking about it need to do research before just doing it. You can search here, Google, and YouTube for what a buck puck is, how to solder wires, how to use the Law of Ohm's to get the right resistor etc..

Right now it may sound hard, but if you can  solder you can do it.

Yes, to clarify Dynamitecheesecake,

What tx says is fact.  You can't just swap out the board and speaker.  There are certain wattage and voltage requirements, so proper research into doing such a thing is pretty much needed.

I instantly thought of JST connectors...

Also, the warranty part.  Very important.  If you do something wrong, and your saber(s) won't work anymore, it'd be all you to have them repaired.  

Totally doable though.  I do it myself.

Quite frankly though, I'd opt to leave the sound in the one, and just get a new board for the other...that's just me though.
