Component Crossover

[CA1978]

Where to mount? I was going to cut the door speaker wires and run that into the crossover but there is no where to mount the crossover in the door. And unfortunately I did not see anywhere I could run wires through the door so I would be able to mount under the dash. Any help is always appreciated.

Yes you can mount it under the dash. Anywhere as long as it doesn't get wet or attract a lot of moisture.

no hes talking about a component speaker crossover.. meaning there are two sets of wires that need to go in through the door. one for the mid and one for the tweeter so mounting it in the car is out of the question. it needs to be in the door.
unless you can find a way to run the wires through the factory door loom. trust me i tried its not easy!

first off what is it a two or four door, and what kind of component crossover is it(brand name such as alpine pioneer???) and how big is it, if you get me that info i can let you know where to mount it!!

Running wires through the factory loom is quite easy, once the door panel and optional power window/lock/mirror control box removed. For the most part, you could get away with putting it right above where you'd throw the mid, in place of the factory 6.5". As far as the tweeter, I would recommend dash or right in front of door handle, for ample clearance. Be sure to seal up the back of those speakers. Crutchfield sells rubber baffles to deflect water from the magnet. Good luck in your endeavors.

It doesn't have to be in the doors. you can run wires into the door and have the crossover somewhere else in the car.

There is a picture of mine, it's at the bottom of the door

Sorry to double post, but I would almost recommend throwing those boxes into someplace besides the door. Then you don't have to run all 6/7 wires throughout the door, just the components' leads.

^^^thats where I plan to mount mine..probly in the next few weeks..since I will be using a 4ch amp to power the 2 component speakers and crossovers, and my 6x9's..the ideal place in my mind seems to be in the pocket of the door panel..this will keep it inside the car and away from moisture..

I have a 91 2dr LX I am running the kicker KS6.2 Component set crossover dims are as follows Length 5" x Width 2 1/2" x Height 1 1/2". I tried the door did not like it I found a spot underneath by the steering column but I could not run the speaker wires through. All help is much appreciated.

Thanks I will try that. As for the tweeter I am going with the door flush mount. It looks good imo.

wow thats a good idea, never thought of putting the crossover there. i actually put the crossover inside the door. theres a spot where you could bracket the crossover to the door itself. i double check it to see if the windows and the bar hits it, but it doesnt. but hondatuner is probably a better idea. less work.

[Dan89]

well...it isn't hondatuner's idea, it's my door panel...

the guy who installed my speakers did like this on my 89 accord, so I'm doing the same thing on my 93, and for the tweeter, don't go too fast with your knife cause you'll surely cut too far away from the circle of your flush mounted tweeter...just a warning

[pickandpull@hot]

opps sorry about that, didnt notice.

For my tweeter I had a saw attachment for my drill...just picked the right size and went for it. It was mad easy.

I believe it is called a hole saw it will cut through the door panel easily but do not try to go throught the metal. It attaches to a drill. I have one which is what I will be using once I run my wires my kickers require a 2.5 inch whole.
