Where to install crossovers

[Disarmer 10+ year member]

Is it generally better to install crossovers near the speakers or near the amp?

My amplifier is on the far back wall of my car (***** Am) and the crossovers are for the front doors. Does it make a difference, or can I just mount them anywhere? (I'd rather mount near the amp as the crossovers look pretty good and would be a nice addition to my amp rack)

Thanks

Most people will say it's best to mount them as close to the speakers as possible, but I've never noticed a difference. I've put crossovers in & on doors, in glove boxes, under front seats and all the way back in the trunk. It's never made a bit of difference.

what year car is it i wouldn't always recomend putting crossovers in the doors if you can avoid it. Moisture is a common enemy and can cause corosion and rust sometimes ruining your crossovers. my doors are sealed very well and i still wont put them there. as far a sound i have never noticed a difference were you put the crossovers
