* Extra capacitors
Another thing that become clear during load-testing: output
power/volume can be further enhanced by adding high power capacitors

* Conclusions / TODO
+Photo of initial PSU + audio amp test:

-These things could be done better:
+Improvement ideas:
+ Instead of using undersized heatsinks on the audio amplifiers and
need for active cooling as a consequence, it would be better to try
would provide plenty of cooling and reduces power losses within
cable, since amplifier would be as close to the speaker as possible.
-+ I used agile design. That is, implemented functionality ad-hoc. If I
- had done design in advance, then I could have had smarter connector
- layout between main board and front panel. That is: Instead of
- multiple smaller cables, one wide (multi connector) cable.
++ Add possibility to power device from USB socket in addition to
+ batteries.
-+ Screw holes are too close to the edges on the front panel.
++ Front panel:
+ + Use digital voltage indicator to gauge remaining battery power.
-+ It would be better if screw heads were slightly buried within
- construction body.
+ + Add possibility to have multiple inputs.
+ + It would be better if screw heads were slightly buried within
+ construction body.
-Overall, it was good learning experience and I was able to test
-various ideas on it. Will add cooler later :)
