Hi jordan, I have had a similar problem with speakers in many cars, i usually make a mounting ring using mdf, cheap and effective if you have the time to make them, as for the screws, ive once mounted the speakers at an angle so i could use the original screws into the car and the speakers screws into the wood held wth nuts! Hope this is of help! Liam --- In doc-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "Jordan Morris" <jordan@xxxx> wrote: > That's what I was afraid of!
