Claim:
A loudspeaker mountable to a baffle, comprising: a speaker basket including a basket body and a flanged rim circumferentially extending from the basket body, the flanged rim being defined by a flange circumferential surface and a flange radial mounting surface disposed generally orthogonal to the flange circumferential surface; a grille retainer concentric with the speaker basket and defined by a retention lip portion, a radial rim interface portion in an abutting relationship with the flange radial mounting surface, and a hinge portion connecting the retention lip portion and the radial rim interface portion with the retention lip portion extending towards the flanged rim of the speaker basket, the retention lip portion further defining an inner retention surface opposed to the flange circumferential surface; and a grille concentric with and extending across the griller retainer and the speaker basket, the grille being defined by a grille body and a grille rim circumferentially disposed and extending from the grille body, the grille rim being interposed between the flange circumferential surface and the inner retention surface with the retention lip portion exerting a radial compressive force against the grille rim.
