Notes Design

Pump up the volume! This month's 1 Hour Design Challenge was a hit! From fur-balls to rockets, we asked Core readers to design the next "Kick-Ass Speaker." Our guest judge, speaker-design guru Kurt Solland of Harman Consumer Group offered his professional opinion this round (see his thoughts after the jump) and threw in a set of Spyro Speakers as a prize!

We're thrilled to have him on board and congratulate all the winners. Be sure to check out the boards for a look at all the entries.

First Prize: Peel Speaker (above)

Second Prize: Something for Fun (previously known as 900MHz Wireless Speakers)

Third Prize: 1hrdc

Special Mention "Ass-Kicker" Prize: Speakertron
