Sound Systems Design Portfolio (pg29)

Evaluation

How well does the final design meet your specifications?

My first specification was for my sound system to have adjustable volume because my neighbours had a baby. On my PCB I made sure to include a potentiometer. So yes I would say that I have met this specification.

My second specification was for my sound system to be portable. When designing my sound system enclosure I made sure to have this specification incorporated into my design. I came up with a small compact enclosure that can still produce good sound. The reason that I wanted a portable sound system was so I could carry it around with me where ever I go, since I love Music so much.

My third specification was for it to look part of my room. I achieved this expectation by painting my enclosure black since black goes with anything and it also looks sophisticated rather than having a bright coloured enclosure. 

My last expectation was for my sound system to have a good amplifier which it does have but if the volume goes to loud it begins to distort, so I think it can be improved by using a different chip. The chip we are currently using is TDA2822M. So the sound can definitely be improved on this design. 

How can the design be improved?

I think next time I'd like to have more space inside the enclosure for all my PCB'S to go.
And I'd like to have a different shaped enclosure, instead of the boring old square I'd like to go for an odd shape, but i know it couldn't be done this time because of the little resources we had. As said above a better TDA chip might be useful in good sound, otherwise than those things I like my design and I wouldn't change anything else.
