• and (3) said diaphragm support structure having a substantially continuous outer circumscribing edge, said outer circumscribing edge being mounted within and retainably supported by said first closed-cell foam such that said outer circumscribing edge and said first closed-cell foam are each free from rigid connection to said speaker cabinet and from rigid connection to said mounting port.
