The grille, made from a single piece of 18 - gauge steel, measures 27.25 in. x 17 in. It has a fully perforated face and an integral frame border.

Using the Lowell AP - 300 grille/frame is easy. First, install the bracket and speaker as needed. Then, mount the subplate to the grille. You can install it horizontally or vertically according to your space. When installing, make sure to check the cutouts match the size of your clock and speaker. Note that the clock, speaker, and backbox are not part of this product, so you need to purchase them separately. To maintain this product, regularly clean the grille with a soft cloth to prevent dust accumulation. If there are any scratches on the steel surface, you can use a mild metal cleaner to keep it in good condition.
