Hook and Loop Fasteners: When mounting speakers with hook and loop fasteners, make sure that all surfaces are clean and free of dirt and grease. Hard, flat, unpainted surfaces work best with hook and loop fasteners (see Diagram Q).

Attach the fastener to the speaker first, remove the backing and adhere to the chosen surface.
