I can´t find a place to put my crossovers inside the doors, could you guys please show me your crossover locations? pics please.

Thankks.

JAC

c´mon guys, I really need your help on this one. Hihoslva posted about his location in an old post but the pics are no longer working, if you read this Hiho please post those pics.

JAC- Is this a third generation? Normaly there is room in the above the mid and below the door handle, or right behind the map pockets. I have seen some folks install in the map pockets so they can acess the crossoevers for setting purposes. I am at work on wireless, so no pictures, sorry!
Let us know what works!

JAC

Yup, third gen. Behind the map pockets? there´s room back there? all I want is for the door panel to fit back perfectly. The spot you mentioned between the door handle and woofer is the one I´ve been looking at, but I dunno where to drill...the sheet meatl is very uneven(sp).

Thanks though, keep em coming.

I took the seats out (front) and installed them under the seats if you are talking about the component's crossovers. I am updating my sounddomain site and will include those in the pics.

on the rear (part closest to back of car) of the door, there is a little area that you can place the crossover. It looks almost like a black pocket. There should be room there. Otherwise, You might have to consider going inside the car with the xover, then running 2 sets of wires.

JAC

The black plastic thing? how did you attach it?.
My door panel has like a styrofoam thing that goes into that hole, did you remove it?.

A new problem, I was test-fitting a new location but I couldn´t put the panel back on because of the stupid door handle(the one you use to open the door) how do you get that thing through that litle hole???.

Rider69

Sorry, I did not mean to sound like that is wher ei installed my crossovers. Mine are in the car as I have custom kicks, it was just a thought.

And as far as the door handle thing, I think you have to turn it to get it through the opening.

JAC

Oh, ok. When I saw that black thing I thought it would be the perfect location but it´s actually very flimsy.

I installed mine near that black hole I think. Near the rear of the door there is a piece of metal with a hole on both sides. I think it is right below the black hole. The metal is about 4 inches wide. I mounted mine on that peice of metal. I believe that hiho also mounted his there or I am confusing somebody elses pic with the ones he posted.


EDIT

I stole this pic from the how-to on removing the front door panel. I marked the part I was talking about with the red circle. Mine is more towards the rear of the door but the pic didn't show that much.

JAC

Thanx guys, I finally found a nice spot beteween the woofer and the door handle (thanx Dave). Those JL crossovers are big *****, check out this pic and youll see what I mean:


I did system check and everything seems fine and noise free(knocks on wood), in a few min Ill put back together the interior except for the door panels because I need to take a test drive tomorow and decide where to mount the tweeters: a)surface mounted on the sail panels or b) flush mounted in the door panels.

Thanks again .

Sorry dude - just saw this thread.

Mine are located toward the rear of the door - the door panel is pretty "thick" there (like behind the map pockets) and there's a ton of room:



Easy as pie. Hope this helps - and that I wasn't too late for ya'. But it looks like you found a similar "thick" spot up front, too - wtg.

JAC

Thanks Hiho, I considered that spot too but I decided to go with the one up front, one q though, where did you mount your tweeters?

hihoslva

Near the mids:





This setup will hopefully go "bye bye" soon. I'm working on a plan for a 3-way component set in custom fiberglass door pods. It'll be a while b4 I start on 'em, but stay tuned....

Mine are under the seat. I included them in my updated pics. Just click on "www" below and it'll take you straight there. I did that location since the speakers are in the kickpanels. I hear you can put them in the doors too.
