The power head has slotted brackets, one on each side that slide out. The speaker enclosure has threaded inserts that accept “piggyback thumb screws” to secure the head to the enclosure.

Len,

The grill fastens on to the front of the cabinet from the other side with screws (inside the cabinet). Speaker cabinet is the same way.

Ed Sullivan,

How does the grille on the amp head connect to the amp head cabinet? I don’t see any screw heads showing.

bob miz,
