I think you can also add spacers (nuts?) to the mounting areas to bring the speakers down a little and clear the dash pad.

I have 3.5" speakers in the kick panels - but just in a circular hole cut in the metal kick panel. The magnets are a close fit but they work fine. I made triangular wood speaker boxes for the rear speakers in the cab corners. Overall, my setup is OK, but I think if you can do the two speakers in the center that would be a nice stock touch. Being able to control the fade from front to rear speakers is nice, as well as left to right balance, especially on a long drive.
