I am installing some new components in my car(Mercuryt Mountaineer 99) I cant find a place to screw them in.(crossover) Would two way tape work or does anyone have any ideas about what to do.

I used double sided tape once in my old civic. Worked good. Use the foam double stuff from 3M though. Works the best and provides some padding.

screw them in in the back with the amps

I used 3m sticky tape and stashed them behind my door panels, stuck to the sound deadener of the door.

Your gonna sell them cause you cant find a spot to mount them???? thats not smart, There are tons of place to mount a crossover in a car, I just happened to do what bikejunkie said and I 3M taped mine to the inside of my door pannel. Just look around in you car there are places.

anywhere dry. don't mount them on the inside of the door where the window itself is. under the door panel is the best in the door, or you can tuck them up in the kickpanels, stash them under the center console, under a seat, behind one of the rear panels in the cargo area (i know for a fact there's plenty of room in there for a couple crossovers) etc etc etc. there's a ton of places to hide 'em. just look around a bit //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

if all else fails mount them to the back o the seat. once u have your sub box in the back mount it to it. take out the factory jack and put it in there

You can find a place to stash them, you just gotta look, heck, you could put zip-ties through the screw holes and tie them off to wiring under the dash if you need to, that's what I did in my wife's Element.

It seems as if its harder then i thought i have not the slightest idea how to run speaker wire throughout my car. I have never done this before and some nice coaxils seem hell of a lot easier.

If i got an amp would i just need to run rcas to the amp and then i could run the speaker wires to the speakers? And not use the factory speaker wire? or what would i have to do to get these to work?

You'll have to run wire unless you manage to put the amp in the dash behind the HU...
