The proper way to mount the crossovers

I have ordered Infinity Kappas to replace my speakers in the front and the back, but both pairs come with crossovers. What is the proper way to mount these babies inside of the door panels so they won't get loose during sharp cornering and acceleration, he-he.

Anywhere there is space and no clearance problems, just screw um down...also you don't just have to put them in the door, under the dash and kickpanel area tends to have room.

I used double sided foam tape on the back of them, and stuck them to the dynamat. I also used glued a water shield over them, just in case.

Why not under seats? It gets ventilated and it's very secure, dry!

Too much wiring. The shorter the run, the better the audio.

You can, just put um up pretty far so they don't get kicked by back passengers...The only downside is running the wires all that extra way

Yea, I did, it takes a little work, but it doesn't loose the signal, if you use good quality wires and right amp
