I just went out and grabbed some split wire loom and used it to make a grommet around the edge for now. At least it looks less messy.
After living with the whole setup for a few days, some further observations.
With the stock head unit and the Ford factory audiophile speakers installed, the treble was a little bright, so one notch down on treble is necessary. When sitting still in a quiet car, the bass seemed natural enough and i don't like thump, I like natural extension. After driving around it seemed a little lacking because of road noise and exhaust noise masking it, so one or two notches of bass turned up seems to be good.
If people buy the BOSS BASS600 expecting to really have loud booming bass, look elsewhere. Its a good match to the stock head unit and factory speakers, and even maybe two would be better than one in this case. Its fine for me for the money spent.
