Finally got my 5X7s....now to install them

Well I finally got my Infinity 5752cf 5X7s. I got them on ebay for $50 shipped. I am going to replace all my factory speakers with them. I should have no problem with the sail panel speakers, but the dash.....that is where I am not sure. I know guys have installed them up there with some cutting, but how much exactly? Any pics?
Here are the speakers

Good luck. It's not even easy to fit 4x6s into a firebird dash. Plan on a lot of heat, and a lot of cutting.

Alright, after looking and planning for the cutting and chopping and destroying that it would take for the 5X7s to fit up front......I said F that. Ill just end up selling the other two.
I installed the other two in the back. The sound pretty good. I would have to say the "bass" is about the same but the clarity is outstanding. Gotta love infinity's.
Here they are installed

Yeah, I bought the 4x6 Infinity Kappa plates for the front, but they didn't fit at all. After a little cutting (I didn't cut the ac ducts) I could get everything together, but the screw locations didn't line up and I'm also not really happy with their sound. I'll have to look at some other 4x6" speakers or components. Not sure if I'll be able to get the dash pad off though.
