20090092276 | FLEXIBLE UNIVERSAL TWEETER BACK MOUNT - A speaker mounting system that mounts a speaker to a panel that may not be entirely flat. The speaker mounting system may include an adapter having a flexible flange that is configured to be attached to the panel and that is made of flexible material that readily enables the flexible flange to flex to substantially conform to the contour of the non-flat panel. The adapter may have a compartment having an end that is attached to the flexible flange and that is configured to receive and securely hold the speaker. The compartment may have a first opening through which sound may be directed and that is substantially aligned with the opening in the flange. The compartment may have a second end opposite of the first end that has a second opening through which sound may be directed. The flange and the compartment may be configured such that, when the panel includes an opening through which sound from the speaker may be directed, the speaker may be oriented within the compartment facing the panel such that the sound it makes is directed through the first opening in the compartment, the opening in the flange, and the opening in the panel; and such that, when a first panel is behind an opening in a second panel through which sound from the speaker should be directed, the speaker may be oriented within the compartment facing away from the first panel such that the sound it makes is directed thorough the second opening in the compartment and the opening in the second panel. The speaker mounting adapter may be back mounted to the panel such that no portion of the adapter lies within the opening in the panel. | 04-09-2009 |
