Where do i mount my Cross over box?! VT!. HELP!

[Heffer_Slayer]

Hey everyone i just bought some Alpine Splits, Type R's.
I just need some help on where to install them in my car!

Now im putting the tweeter in the stock position, is that where everyone else has theres? Tell me if they are ok there.

And i am using the stock speaker mounts i am just cutting off the back so the woofers fit in.

Now i just have no idea where to mount the X-Overs, (Crossovers, the little box thing!)

Where do you guys mount yours for the driver and passenger front doors?!

Thanks alot guys in advance!

I already have a speaker cable from the door to the boot to my amp, just need to find out where to mount those bloody crossovers!
Also whats the easiest way to route the wire from the tweeter to the Cross Over?

mount the tweeters in the pillars although u can get defected for thiss umm have it pointing towards your ears , as for cross overs ive seen people make features out of them on their doors with perspex and shiz? id be guessing you could mount them in the bottom of the doors aslong as they didnt get wet? maybe?

What do you mean by pillars? As in the factory location? The top right and left vents near the windscreen?

Does anyone know any other simple ways to mount or place the cross overs?

i know mines a VN, but i hid mine behind the dash. one is screwed into the plastic behind the glovebox. if you open the glovebox you can see the screws holding it in. the other is mounted up above the bonnet cable. im not sure if you can do similar on a VT

dude put them in the stock spot, that way they reflect off the windscreen. putting them up high looks cool but stuffs your sound stage up, its like putting the singer behind the crowd and the band in front, just throws it out. for the quickest and easiest place to put the cross over, slip your hand up beside the accelerator on the kick panel and at the top is a opening where other wiring is hidden just slip it in there with some excess wiring to stop it rattling, same for passenger side. mine sit perfect just there, other wise double sided tape them in there. i went for the hidden stocky look, if it wasnt for the tweeters mounted in my rear doors you wouldnt see anything.

give it a shot

Thanks mate!
that is really helpful, i am pulling off the plastics so i can have a good look at my kick pannel and check out where i can mount it!
Hopefully it will turn out ok.
Keep the ideas coming though, thats a great one about the kick panels but!

+1 for the kick panels - it keeps them out of the way, and unless you're going for pose value you never need to get to them again. That's where mine are!
