Mount the speaker using the hardware shown in Figure 78. A suggested procedure for doing this is as
follows:
Find a book or other flat-smooth surface that is about the size of the top cover.
From the top, place the screws in the four holes at the corners of the speaker grill area.
Cover the screw heads with the book and, holding it in place against the top cover, invert the
cover and lay it with the book on your work table so the bottom side is facing upwards.
Trim and cut screw holes in the grill cloth as needed and position it over the four screws that are
now held in place by the book. Trim the grill cloth so the cloth does not touch the stiffener.
Place a fiber washer on each screw so it rests on the grill cloth.
Position the loudspeaker on the four screws so they pass through the holes in the flanges. Orient
the speaker so the wire exits toward the rear (the side nearest the stiffener).
Place a #4 internal tooth lock washer on each screw.
Start a 4-40 nut on each screw.
Pick up the entire assembly and tighten all four screws. Do not tighten the screws enough to
bend the speaker flanges!
