Default Repairing large holes in drywall

I have a room with 5 holes where speakers used to be mounted in the walls.

Each hole is the same size........a rectangle about 9 inches wide and about
14 inches tall.

Now that the speakers have been removed, I am left with filling these 5
holes. Cutting out new pieces of drywall to fit these 5 openings is not
hard. I am wondering how to attach the drywall, since there are no studs
anywhere near the cut-out openings.

Any suggestions are very much appreciated. Thank you.

Screw, through the drywall, some pieces of wood to two sides of the
opening leaving half of the wood exposed in the opening.
Then screw the patches to the exposed wood.
Works like a charm.
