A speaker moounting assembly wherein the speaker is supported on a ceiling or wall construction. The baffle associated with the speaker includes a grille face exposed on the exterior of the ceiling or wall and an opposed interior face. Brackets are supported on the interior face, and frame clips are connected to the brackets. These clips include an inwardly extending portion which provides for the attachment of a hairpin spring. A ring is located in spaced relationship with the interior face of the baffle, and openings are defined by the ring for receiving each hairpin spring. In particular, the hairpin spring includes spring arms adapted to engage opposite side edges of the ring openings with the arms being urged apart for thereby urging the baffle toward the ring. The baffle is adapted to be pulled away from the ring in opposition to the action of the spring arms for permitting access to the speaker. The openings for receiving the spring arms preferably define at least two sets of opposed side edges whereby the engagement of the spring arms can be switched between sets of openings to permit adjustment of the forces holding the baffle in position adjacent to the ring.
