Alpine 4x6 in front dash

Does anyone here have the alpine 4x6 speakers in the dash of a 3rd gen? What did you do to install them. I noticed that the speakers mounting holes are a bit off from the factory speakers. Is there a bracket for them that will tighten them up? Thanks for any help.

The alpines don't have multiple mounting holes? In any event, as long as you get 2 of them to line up, you'll be fine. The dash pad will hold them down.

I was hoping the dash pad would hold them in place enough, but it didn't. They are rattling arround in there driving me nuts and they have only been in one day. It has enough holes in the plate of the speaker but they just don't seem to reach. Only one will reach to secure a tight fit and obviously from the rattling, it didn't last very long. I think I am going to just go without them and put the door or kick speakers in. Thanks for the info...
