Component crossover location ?

I just got some Polk Components. The mid/Sub fits perfect, but the tweeter or door grill needs modification. Where is the best place to mount the crossovers?

Ok!

Heres another tough question. I also have a 1/0 fuse holder. This thang is huge. Where is the best place to mount this?

kick panels work well for xovers.

Good idea! Why didn't think about that?

How about the fuse holder? The engine bay is crowded enough already.

Crowd it some more. The whole purpose of running a fuse close to the engine is to minimize the distance an excessive voltage spike can travel.

I thought you did not want to run 1/0, though.

What kind of wire did you end up using?

I went with the Knukonceptz Kompressed 1/0 Gauge because its flat and they claimed it was slightly thicker than their Kolossus 4 Gauge. However, I still find it a bit difficult working it into a 1/0 connection port. Go figure!

Try twisting the wire tight...there's a lotta wire there!!!! You will be quite pleased with your wire's performance!

Thanks for the ideas. I have a Non-Bose stock component set up in the front doors. Does anyone know if there is a stock crossover in the wire line? Where it's located?
