how about this idea kinda on the wild side but hey it may work. go up one size on the screw, maybe a sheet metal screw, self tapper may be the way also, forget the wood.

i took a piece of 1/4 mdf (i had 1/4 and 3/4) and traced the metal plate (rectangle) and marked the 6x9 opening.. I used that.. and it is real good. I put 5.25" coaxial JL's not 6x9's but you can bolt up the 6x9 just fine.
