the best way to answer that would be to go ahead and mount the mid, then with the tweeter wired, hold it at various spots like high on the doors, dash, window pillar, etc. to get an idea of the sound differences, then mount them where you think they sound the best.

The crossovers don't have to be close to the speakers, I run a 3 way passive set-up with them mounted on the back wall of a single cab, one right next to the amp. about 6 feet from the speakers after the wire is ran.
