Best way to secure this tweeter to the back of the door panel?

Ok, so mounting this component set in the door has become quite a big project. I overestimated the room behind the panel where I mounted my tweeter, and now the retaining equipment that came with it wont fit behind the panel. So I need a way to hold the tweeter mounting cup onto the panel. I need something strong, but also something that can be removed should I decide to upgrade the components in the future. Heres a picture too.



Im thinking the bast way is possible super glue or a hot glue gun....

Use a back-strap usually most radiods have them in the box the are just strips of metall with pre-cut holes in them usually half inch to 3/4 of inch in width (if not lowes carries something similar to this but anyways use that bent at a curve with the curve face away from the back of the door panel and then use the threded area that i see in the middle of the tweeter to fastenen the back strap to the tweeter the curve and the screw will cause the tweeter to be pulled back towards the interior of the door panel and hold itself in place
