Recommendations for crossover location...

I will be installing my CDT components and was wondering where would be a good place to mount the crossovers? I heard that in the door is a bad idea because of moisture. My idea was to place the inside each kick panel, or even just under my seats. All help is really appreciated..

You can mount them in the doors, just put them in a plastic ziplock bag and run the wires through some small holes in the plastic.

Under the seats is good, too. You can use zip ties to attach them to the carpeting so they don't move around. Just run the wiring under the carpet and then make some holes in the carpet near the xovers.

Kick panels...sure, if there's room.

You could also mount them up under the dash. It doesn't matter what they look like as long as they're out of the way and securely attached (with zip ties). This is by far the easiest way.

hmm, Thanks for all the ideas.. I still dont know where would be the best place.. I'll either get the shop to put them in the kick panels or under my seats since I already have a cut in the carpet under the seats from the wires for my power/heated seats...
