Default Mounting Double DIN deck

Hey guys, I've just purchased a Kenwood DDX 5036 and installed it in my AU. I was just wondering how people went about securing something similiar into the dash of an AU. The wiring harness fouls on the lower bracket in the opening, I can cut it, but I'd prefer not to if possible, and there is no cage for this deck, How do I securely locate it within the dash confines?

i used the stock rubber bung that pushes into the back metal in front of the firewall.. held it pretty secure.

AUIIPURSUIT - Unfortunately my stock headunit is long gone. It wasn't in the car when I purchased it 4 years ago.

XRATE-UTERUS - Cheers, I wasn't aware I could get a cage from anywhere, I'll check it out tomorrow on my way home from work.
