Abstract
A mounting frame for a loudspeaker has a plurality of similar slots formed at each of the corners thereof. A beveled tooth is formed in one of the walls of each slot. An L-shaped bracket having longitudinal and transverse arm portions has transverse serrations formed in the outer surface of the longitudinal arm portion. One of the brackets is inserted into each slot opposite the beveled tooth thereof with the serrations ratcheting on the edge of the tooth to a selected locking position whereat the transverse arm of the bracket abuts against the speaker frame. A bendable tab extends into the slot at a portion thereof adjacent to the beveled tooth, this bendable tab operating to retain the bracket in position but when bent over enabling the sideways motion of the bracket so that it can be removed from the slot. The frame is mounted to a wall of the vehicle by means of a pair of bracket members each having a pair of arms with a surface which is serrated transversely and which engages mating teeth on a serrated leg extending outwardly from the frame, the brackets have posts extending therefrom which fit under U-shaped hangers in a wall of the vehicle to retain the frame to the wall of such vehicle.
