Week 4

= Full research
~ Created Power Point Pages
   Key Factors, Gantt Chart and started to refine research of Speakers, Woofers, Ports and Crossovers.
The Gantt chart is used to keep our time managed and to help meet deadlines.
Key Factors help us mold our design around these factors.
~ Used 11DTI Template to get a head start on my power point contents and design. This design is helpful as it contains a detailed stages which are identical to those used in this course.

Week 2

= First steps of research
~ Organized out door research at sound & speaker stores and shops.
~ Created maps of Wellington and store locations for use on Friday
~ Went to stores around Wellington finding that some stores are useless where some were helpful. e.g. Protel were very helpful taking us through the back of their store. This helped as I was able to get a better idea of speaker in physical instead of pictures on the internet
