[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8482856, member: 576029"] i never recommend mounting crossovers inside doors. doors get very wet and crossovers will corrode and fail fairly quickly. locate the crossover in the cabin, ideally near any amplifiers. run separate wires from the crossover into the doors for the tweeter and woofer. this wiring configuration also allows for possibly running active in the future. [IMG]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e128/phat_funky_beats/IMG_20130706_053955_988.jpg[/IMG] you can also stash crossovers in the dash or glove box. if done well, the glove box allows you to hide then show off the crossovers (some are nice looking). [IMG]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e128/phat_funky_beats/accord/AlpineSystem/accordxovers007.jpg[/IMG] many crossovers have adjustments that you want access to. you also want to maintain access to connections. if you're totally against running separate wiring to the doors, you can surface mount the crossover on the door panel in a pocket. wiring is more of a PITA, and you want to take care to keep it looking neat.
