- a first loudspeaker mounted to said frame;
- a speaker mount having spaced mounting arms each being formed with a first arm bore and a second arm bore, said speaker mount being positioned to overlie said seat so that each one of said first arm bores aligns with one of said first seat bores and each one of said second arm bores aligns with one of said second seat bores;
- a second loudspeaker mounted to said speaker mount;
- a grill tray having a number of mounting tabs each formed with a first tab bore and a second tab bore, said grill tray being positioned to overlie said speaker mount and said seat such that at least some of said first and second tab bores align with respective first and second arm bores in said speaker mount and such that each one of said first and second tab bores aligns with respective first and second seat bores in said seat;
- a number of first fasteners inserted into said second seat bores in said seat and aligning second arm bores in said speaker mount to connect said speaker mount to said seat, a number of first fasteners inserted into said second seat bores in said seat and aligning second tab bores in said grill tray to connect said grill tray to said seat;
- a grill including a number of spaced spokes each having an end formed with a socket bore, said grill being positioned to overlie said grill tray such that each of said socket bores aligns with one of said first tab bores in said grill tray and one of said first seat bores in said seat, at least some of said socket bores aligning with each one of said first arm bores in said speaker mount;
- a number of second fasteners inserted through one of said aligning socket bores, first tab bores, first arm bores and first seat bores, said second fasteners being adapted to mount said loudspeaker system to a speaker enclosure or within an interior of a baffle;
