Abstract: A speaker system and approach facilitates flexible installation and removal of an audio speaker into a structure. According to an example embodiment of the present invention, a speaker system includes mounting hardware and audio components with a fastening arrangement that facilitates the fastening of the mounting hardware to a structure and the audio components to the mounting hardware. The speaker system is amenable to a one-piece installation wherein the audio components are coupled to the mounting hardware during installation, as well as a two-piece installation wherein the mounting hardware is attached to the structure separately from the audio components. After installation, the one-piece and two-piece approaches both facilitate the flexible removal of the audio components from the mounting hardware.
