A trim panel ( 10 ) includes an integrally formed attachment member ( 14 ) for mounting an acoustic device ( 16 ), such as a loudspeaker, an exciter, a piezoelectric transducer, or the like, directly to the trim panel ( 10 ) without the need of a separate mounting member. The acoustic device ( 16 ) is attached to the trim panel ( 10 ) by use a twist and lock fastening feature ( 18 ) in the form of a ramp surface ( 24 ) that draws the acoustic device ( 16 ) toward the trim panel ( 10 ) as the acoustic device ( 16 ) is rotated about the attachment member ( 14 ). Once the acoustic device ( 16 ) is rotated into place, one or more detents ( 26 ) are provided on the trim panel ( 10 ) and one or more corresponding detent grooves or recesses ( 32 ) are provided on the acoustic device ( 16 ) to lock the acoustic device ( 16 ) securely in place. The integrally formed attachment member ( 14 ) enables the inner and outer surfaces ( 11,12 ) of the trim panel ( 10 ) to be a generally continuous surface.
