    摘要: The present invention relates to a loudspeaker assembly and a method of assembling a loudspeaker assembly. In one or more embodiments, the invention comprises forming a front baffle from a first material, the front baffle comprising a first driver mounting portion, an intermediate portion, and an edge mounting portion. A first driver aperture is formed in the first driver mounting portion, and a port aperture is formed in the intermediate portion. A first driver is installed in the first driver mounting portion by mounting the first driver proximate to the first driver aperture. A rear baffle is formed from a second material, which, in one or more embodiments, is less stiff than the first material from which the front baffle is formed. The rear baffle comprises a top portion, sidewalls, a recessed mounting portion, and an edge portion. The edge mounting portion of the front baffle is attached to the recessed mounting portion of the rear baffle. In one or more embodiments, the rear baffle is secured to the back of the first driver, such that the driver acts as a structural member that increases the rigidity of the loudspeaker assembly. In one or more embodiments, a back box is placed over the rear baffle. In one or more embodiments, the back box provides thermal insulation. In one or more embodiments, the back box complies with fire protection requirements, such as fire codes. In one or more embodiments, an electrical assembly is installed in the loudspeaker assembly, for example in an electrical compartment formed in the rear baffle. In one or more embodiments, a mounting plate is provided for securely attaching the first driver to a structural support thereby securely attaching the entire loudspeaker assembly to the structural support. One or more apertures are formed in the rear baffle and in the back box to allow the mounting plate to attach to the first driver via a fastener that passes though the rear baffle and the back box. In one or more embodiments, a perforated grille is crimped to the edge portion of the rear baffle and an edge portion of the back box.
