Garnish double ring for speaker seal

A speaker panel for mounting a speaker within a motor vehicle, the speaker panel comprising:

• a panel having a speaker opening;
• a first sealing rib extending from said panel proximate said speaker opening and dimensioned to seal against a first speaker basket;
• and
• a second sealing rib extending from said panel proximate said speaker opening and nested within said first sealing rib, said second sealing rib dimensioned to seal against a second speaker basket that is smaller than the first speaker basket when the second speaker basket is too small to seal against the first sealing rib;
• said first sealing rib and said second sealing rib operatively arranged such that the first speaker basket or the second speaker basket can be selectively attached to and sealed against said panel without modifying said panel.

A process for using a double sealing ring speaker panel to selectively mount different sized speakers to the speaker panel without modifying the speaker panel, the process comprising:

• Providing a motor vehicle with a speaker panel having:
• a speaker opening;
• a first sealing rib extending from the speaker panel proximate the speaker opening and having a first rib diameter;
• and
• a second sealing rib extending from the speaker panel proximate the speaker opening and nested within the first sealing rib, the second sealing rib having a second rib diameter smaller than the first rib diameter;
• providing a first speaker having a first speaker basket dimensioned to seal against the first sealing rib and a second speaker having the second speaker basket dimensioned to seal against the second sealing rib, the second speaker basket being smaller than the first speaker basket and too small to seal against the first sealing rib;
• determining and selecting which of the first speaker or the second speaker is to be installed in the motor vehicle;
• and
• attaching the selected speaker to the speaker panel without modification to the first sealing rib and the second sealing rib, the selected speaker basket sealed against the first sealing rib if the selected speaker is the first speaker or sealed against the second sealing rib if the selected speaker is the second speaker.
