The cover member includes a pair of spaced apart cover connecting structures projecting through opening in the substrate panel for locking engagement with a respective pair of retainer bracket connecting structures projecting from the retainer bracket into the opening in the substrate. An opening extends through each of the connecting structures of the cover member and is axially aligned with a corresponding through-holed in each of the connecting structures of the retainer bracket. A fastener extends through each of the respective axially aligned openings and through-holes and is lockingly secured to the sheet metal panel for retaining and supporting the speaker mounting assembly and speaker in the vehicle.
