Abstract
A loudspeaker allowing snap-together assembly and extensive use of plastic is provided. The magnet is substantially enclosed between a molded plastic basket and a first lock member. Deformable fins aid in centering the magnet and in maintaining an annular gap between elements of the magnet. The base of the cone of the loudspeaker is frictionally held between the basket and a second lock member. The electrical connection between the voice coil and the input terminals includes conductive strips formed of conductive ink upon a centering disc. The conductive strips are soldered to the leads of the voice coil and are joined to the input terminals by pressure contacts of a terminal module added at final assembly. A bridge subassembly for mounting within the basket of the loudspeaker is provided to permit snap-together assembly of multiple loadspeaker systems. The electrical connections between the loudspeakers of the multiple loudspeaker system are made at final assembly by the terminal module.
