x2 on the plastic bag, I usually put a sandwich bag over it with the wires connected then tape the poop out of the end.

How do you keep it from rattling around in the door?

I used bolts. Drilled the two holes put crossover inside of door inserted bolts from the inside and tightened them down with nuts. Used 2 layers of edead cut to the exact size of the crossovers stuck on back on crossovers to provide some form of padding against the sheet metal.

Industrial strength velcro...seriously, I bought it at Walmart and it's strong enough to hold up just about anything...I just stuck a piece to the back of the crossover and another to the inside of my door panel and viola, instant easy mounting.

Yeah I made the mistake of putting the crossovers in the doors without protection and all the terminal screws are rusted to hell. Heavy sandwich bags works good(just make sure there are NO holes or it'll trap moisture), you can even go the extra mile by greasing the terminals with petroleum jelly.

If I had the money I would have. One step at a time as $$$$ permits.
