sail panel 6x9 - screw size?

Short version: what's the size & length of the screws that go in the sail panel speakers?

Long version: 9 years ago, I picked up some Sony Xplod speakers on clearance. Yeah, they're crap, but they were cheap and better than the stock junk. So I recently found them in the garage, and went to install. It went easy enough, but when I went to screw them in, the hardware bag was missing. I searched the car about 5 times, but they f-ing vanished. (I'm sure I'll find them in another 9 years) I'm just going to get a set from Autozone, Pep Boys, whatever. The stock ones are too short to screw in these thicker speakers.

Think this would work?

And yes, I'm a dumbass.

Use the existing hardware or 1" to 1.5 inch Phillips pan heads, I've never searched for a specific bolt for speakers. I've been doing car audio for a while now, almost any shop will just use what fits no need to call out a specific piece in this case
