ABSTRACT:
A speaker and grille assembly clip mounting for use in installing the assembly into a vehicle panel opening. A pair of generally Z-shaped clips are in opposed alignment on the speaker. Each clip has an outwardly diverging shoulder portion deformably joined to an inwardly converging arm portion defining a downwardly extending included obtuse angle spring. Each arm portion terminates in a return bend finger portion which is biased into sliding contact with the speaker magnet. The shoulder and arm portions are resiliently collapsible away from each other to permit ready passage of the clip portions past the panel opening during installation and removal. In position each clip shoulder portion is spring biased into engagement with the opening providing a vibration and shock absorbing speaker and grille snap-in mount.
