Brea, CA, June 16, 2006– Audiobahn has selected Jamie Steele of Fulton, Mississippi as the winner of the company’s highly-acclaimed contest that challenges consumers to design their own subwoofer. The contest, which kicked-off on February 1, 2006, drew hundreds of submissions from the nation’s most creative artists and car audio enthusiasts. After much consideration, Steele’s design emerged as the winning entry, giving way to a comprehensive prize package from Audiobahn and its marketing partners.
 
Jamie Steele, 18, recently graduated high school and plans to attend college to focus on graphic design. His greatest hobby is drawing, which is evident in his sketched design of an Audiobahn woofer cone. “It’s clear that Jamie put a lot of work into this design,” says Audiobahn Product Development Manager and Designer Daniel Jones. “Not only does his design stand out in a crowd, it will look great once it’s manufactured.”
 
As part of his grand prize package, Steele will receive a pair of specially-manufactured 12-inch subwoofers featuring his own creative design. Since Jamie is a fan of classic and exotic cars, he will receive an exclusive prize package from Maisto International, consisting of specialty die-cast 1:18 and 1:24 scale collectible vehicles. He will also receive a prize package from Interscope Records, featuring a collection of music from today’s hottest Interscope artists.

“Maisto International and Interscope Records have been integral parts of this promotion,” says Director of Marketing Rainier de Ocampo. “These partners have offered to award prizes to our 2nd and 3rd place finalists, too, so we’d like to thank Maisto and Interscope for their generous support.”
 
On top of everything, to properly outfit his Dodge Intrepid, Jamie Steele will win $500 worth of Audiobahn product.
 
Audiobahn would like to congratulate Jamie Steele for his exceptional woofer design and for his loyalty to the Audiobahn brand. “Jamie is sure to make an amazing graphic designer one day,” concludes Daniel Jones. “His creative hand and eye for detail are what won this contest. Congratulations!
