Aftermarket crossover location

[Gooch]

Where are you guys putting your aftermarket crossovers? I just got a set of a/d/s/ 320i/s speakers/crossovers to complete my system and am wondering where to install the crossovers.

Was the stock location back near the antenna with premium sound? I didn't have premium sound so I don't know.

Any help is appreciated.

Fro front premium sound speakers, the crossover for the tweeter was built into the midrange speaker.

I think most guys put the crossover in the kickpanel behind the speaker, but I could be wrong. I've seen some people mount them in the trunk as well near their amp.

I put them in the trunk, generally, just so I can upgrade to tri-amped later. Of course, this means running more wires, but that has yet to kill me.

Hanging under that dash?

I hope not, sounds like a good way to get your crossovers kicked.

No they are in my glovebox. and wiring coming out the back of it. Pretty stealth.

What is NOT recmooended is mounting near any major electrical/electronic stuff (I.E., the DME as shown above) as crossovers have inductors in them and can attract noise.

huh the wierd thing is the previous bostons that were installed at magnolia were mounted even closer to the dme

99.999% of the installers on the planet are idiots.

Don't believe me? Ask Jeff...
