Abstract: An assembly for mounting a speaker to a surface includes a bracket having an elongated arcuate section and two end sections angled approximately perpendicular to the arcuate section. The end sections are attached on opposite sides of a speaker. A support device is provided, having a main body with a central channel, and channel guides running along each side of the central channel. The channel guides slidably retain the arcuate section of the bracket in the channel when the bracket is slid into the channel under the channel guides. A clamp is connected to the main body for clamping the bracket in place within the channel. A speaker can be mounted to the surface by attaching the bracket to the speaker, attaching the support device to the surface, sliding the bracket into the channel and moving the clamp to the locked position to lock the bracket in place.

Abstract: A speaker assembly comprising a speaker housing, a speaker mounted in the housing, and at least two threaded studs connected to the housing and speaker and extending away from the external surface of the housing. The studs have an unthreaded, pointed end that is particularly suitable for piercing a ceiling tile with little effort or mess. There are at least two nuts for threading over the studs to secure the studs to a ceiling tile after the studs pierce the tile to attach the housing to the tile, and at least two wire nuts to connect amplifier wires to the tip of the studs. The speaker is mounted to a ceiling tile by piercing the tile with the studs and securing the studs to the other side of the tile with the nuts. The amplifier wires are then connected to the tips of the studs via the wire nuts.
