Here is a quick update on my install.
I knew that leaving center channel speaker was culprit sound edginess and have planned to replace stock 7-channel amp with JL 6-channel amp so the center channel will be no longer functional after amp replacement.
However I decided to disabled the center channel by unplugging the speaker.
I removed center speaker and unplugged speaker connector.
I did listening afterward and I must said that I was very impressed.
The improvement in sound clarity by removing OEM center speaker was huge.
Midrange was less muddy and upper bass was more defined.
So I will recommend to disconnect OEM center speaker if you are planning to upgrade stock speakers.
One thing I noticed is that there is not enough room to fit a regular sized speaker so even if you will have less speaker choices if you are planning on replacing dashboard speaker.
I've taken pictures of the center speaker cutout to show the limited space.
