i got some component speakers, and i'm wondering where is the best place to mount them? thanks.

 

[cheezthis]

I put mine in the door, and it works just fine.

and if you have rear x-overs, here's where i put mine....

(same for both sides)

 

[nicklk]

I put my drivers side x-over in the drivers side kick panel, and the passenger side I installed on the very upper left part of the passenger feet area under the carpet, and the black rubber insulations under the carpet, you cant tell it is there, and it is out of the doors, out of the possibitly of getting wet in the doors

 

[Louse76]

That's where they are in my door... hopefully you can figure out where its at since its not a wide shot...

 

[C_Rock77]

Anyone else have any other ideas?
I've heard that mounting them in the doors is not a good idea because it would be hard to get to if you need to adjust them.

You could mount them in the trunk

 

[IXICodeBlueIXI]

thats so

 

[hanoihomeboi]

personally, i'm gonna go with diamonds idea. is 16ga good enough wire to get a good signal from trunk up to the front?

 

[acuradriva]

Where is the amp going to be mounted?

 

[marltonteg]

is there a way to do it like diamonds only mount them flush in the door...and put some sort of plexiglass thing over it...mounted flush with the door...i think that would look kinda tight...maybe a neon light inside...actually maybe not...but whatever...anyone seen anything like this done/know how to do it...let me know...my sh*t is goin in tuesday and i wanna know

There is a way to do anything. It's just have the imagination, creativity and time to complete it. If you wanted to flush out your crossovers. Placing them where the pocket is would be a great place since you probably would have enough depth. The bad part would be, you would lose your pocket and would have to refinsh the whole door panel. Refinishing a door panel is not simple at all. There are some many curves to deal with. Vinyling this is very difficult.

 

[geeknerd]

I think it would be hard to make the inside of the door look good. Maybe if the window was very small, etc. But then again, personally, I like everything to look stock...

My crossovers don't permit this, but I've thought it would be nice to be able to place the crossovers near the door handle. That way you could adjust the crossovers by taking off the handle, and not the whole door.

 

[DiamondSounds]

Usually you do not need to adjust your crossovers once they are set. That is what an EQ does. So you really do not need easy access to them.

 

[geeknerd]

Good point. I've not yet installed an EQ and amp, but it's next on the list.

What did you guys use to mount them? Double sided tape?

What did you guys use to mount them? Double sided tape?

I used brackets, similar to what you receive with a head unit for the back support or whatever. I was lucky enough to find some heavier duty ones. I actually drilled some screws to get those crossovers mounted.
