Car speaker installation hassles

Say you have two holes in your front car doors where the speakers should go. And say that even though you can wire them up, you have no way to attach them, because the geniuses that can design a car to drive 300,000 miles can't make interior door panels that don't shred like cardboard after a quarter of that. What would you do? [mas adentro]
Details: 1991 Volvo 240, 180k miles, and to top it off I can't open the panels and attack the problem from the inside, with screws and washers and whatnot (don't have the right tools, and these tanks aren't designed for easy owner maintenance anyway). I'm thinking epoxy, even if it is permanent. But it has to be s-t-r-o-n-g, because it was the force/leverage of the doors closing over and over that tore the screws out of the (@#$% pressboard) panels in the first place.

Response by poster: Great site, thanks. It's getting the door handle off that's stumping me (one part just seems...fused to the panel). And then once I pry back the pressboard, there's this immovable metal layer that I can't get behind. But I'll try pleading my case over there.
