hi,

was just wondering how many ppl put their x-overs in the door? i was thinking of putting them in the door so i dont have to mess with wiring too much. anyone done this? is there space to put the cross overs?

thanks

mine are in the door
there on a metal plate between the door handle and the slot on the door trim (that slot where you grab to close the door)

It would depend where you're mounting the tweeters. The one time I installed splits, the tweeters went onto the dash, so x-overs were under the dash.

Otherwise, if tweeters are going on the doors, then I would definitely put the x-over inside the door cavity, although making sure it stays dry and doesn't foul the window mechanism might be a bit tricky.
On second thoughts, maybe I'd go under the dash everytime?

Mine dont sit anywhere near the doors.....

I guess its an easier way of wiring (less wires to run INTO the door). On the other hand, my tweeters are in the A pillars.

Oh - and I try and reduce rattles, god knows Magna doors suck for mid bass resonance - so I try and remove as much as I can from the doors, not put more in lol

Mine are door mounted. I found it easier than running individual wiring for the woofer and tweeter, although I'm not all that fond of the idea of rattling the crossovers with mid-bass, so I probably wouldn't do it with any speakers that have a lot of mid-bass.
