Default Help with sail panel speaker install

So I finally blew one of the speakers in the sail panel not too long ago and purchased some bazookas to go in their place. Problem is, I can't use the clips that were used on the old speakers because the edge of the new speakers is too small. How can I mount these speakers without having to use the factory clips? All that's left are bigger holes. Thanks in advance.

Just grab a new set of speed nuts from the parts store. They are slightly shorter and will work. Also, when you put them in, only start the screw in a little bit. Just enough to get it to stay, then do the others the same way. Once you have them started a little on all 4 corners, then you go around and tighten them. If you put one in all the way and then try to do the rest, it will pull everything to one side and nothing will line up.
