Mid install dilemma

Hi everyone, I lease a 2006 acura rsx type s. I ordered a bunch of polk momo equipment consisting of a mmc6500 componenet set, a mmc650 coaxial set, c400.4 4 channel amp, c500.1 mono amp, sr124-dvc sub, alpine cda-9885 hu along with a bunch of other stuff. I installed the 2 rear speakers plus I ran all the wires which was a ton of work and the bulk of the install. I have the power wire run under the hood ready for hookup. I ran all new 12 gauge schosche twisted speaker wires all around which took time as well. I was going to install the mmc6500 components into the factory midrange and tweeter location but I ran into some problems. For instance, the flush mount cup of the momo tweeters is way too large to fit in the factory tweeter hole. I realized that I would need to dremel a significant amount which will make it impossible to reinstall the factory tweets when the time comes. That is problem number one. Problem number two is that the front factory door speaker hole is odly shaped and the Polk Momo woofers will not fit in there without a bit of dremeling as well. I have all the required speaker adapters plus a 3/4 mdf spacer but I still need dremeling which will prob make the factory midrange quite difficult to reinstall as well. I was hoping someone here could give me some ideas on what to do. Hopefully someone has experience working on the rsx type s. I was thinking of getting the q-logic 6.5 inch kickpanels for this car but I would rather do without that if possible. Please help.

 
Sell me the 6.5's //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I would go ahead and cut the holes out. If you are planning on selling the car and putting it all back stock why bother to work on it now? Just my opinion though.

Good luck

 
I took over my brothers lease. I will still have the car for over a year and a half. Why should I have shitty stock sound for a year? I want to be able to put everything back to stock at the end. What should I do?
