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.

Attach 1x3s with sheetrock screws to the back of the existing
sheetrock. Screw the patches to the 1x3s. If you can extend the
1x3s to the studs at attach to them it's even better.

Any suggestions are very much appreciated. Thank you.
