Screws for 6x9's?

What size screws should I use for my 6x9's that are in the back seat behind the sail panels? The rattling is driving me insane. Is there anything else I can do to reduce rattles?

Whatever fits. If the factory screws won't tighten, get slightly bigger ones and use lock washers.

The factory screws are gone, the 6x9's weren't in there when I purchased the car. Right now I have a bunch of random screws that don't fit, so it rattles. I just need to know what size screws fit good?

Casey,

Thjs is not intended as an insult, so please don't take it as such. If you can't figure out how to screw in your 6x9's, you need more help than any message board will be able to give you. Find somebody willing to help, whether its a local stereo shop, friends, or whomever. Hope you get it fixed.
