You should get a good fixing with the tabs on the head units slide in bracket, I did on my Kenwood set at any rate.

Install the surround, install the cage bending the tabs back to get it nice and tight, then pull all the wiring through the cage and attach to headunit, then slide headunit into cage.

It will hold in there. There should be a lip that the HU sits against when it's in the fascia adaptor.
