Get some self-tapping screw from Home Depot. Put the point where you want it to go, let the screw do the work. It'll cost ya $3.

Problem with that is the rear speaker holes are really hard to drill straight down into with self tappers. You'd be better off doing it from underneath. Then re screwing them in from the top. Don't do it with the driver in position because you might just throw a screw right into the surround or cone.

Yupp.

All you have to do is put the speaker in the mounting location and mark the 4 holes with a marker. Then drill.

Kevlo has the right idea with an IB setup, but there is a LOT that goes into doing that properly if that's the route you want to go. Namely you need to seal off the trunk from the cabin of the car and, take it from a guy who is doing it ... it's not that easy. It's tedious work. Work that will make and INCREDIBLE difference in the end, but if you half-*** it, it won't sound as good as it could or should.

I'll have pics of my install once it's completed ...

With the budget that he has, I don't think that is a viable option.
