Apparatus and method for securing a speaker within a radio housing includes a bezel connected to the grill of the radio and a rim having vertical side walls disposed along the perimeter of the bezel. The rim defines a cavity in which to position the speaker adjacent to the bezel. “U-shaped”clips having engaging barbs slidably attach to the rim until the clips provide a downward securing force against the base of the speaker. The barbs engage the rim to prevent the clips from loosening, allowing the speaker to vibrate.

An apparatus for mounting a speaker onto a radio housing comprising: a. a supporting member in cooperation with said housing; wherein said supporting member abuts said a base of speaker: b. a vertical member attached to said supporting member and continuously disposed along the outside perimeter of said speaker base wherein said vertical member forms a cavity in which to position said speaker: and c. a plurality of U-shaped hold-down clips each comprising a first wall and a second wall substantially parallel to the first wall, at least a portion of the first wall being turned outwardly away from the second wall so as to form a hold down leg, and at least one barb member projecting inwardly from one of said walls, said U-shaped clips slidably attached on said vertical member until said hold-down leg is securely positioned against said speaker and said barb member fixedly engages said vertical member and prevents said U-shaped clips from slidably disengaging from said vertical member; whereby said hold-down leg exerts a constant downward force against said speaker and prevents vibration and shock forces from loosening said speaker from its mounted position.
