Installing component speakers

[95Blue240sx]

I just got some Rockford Component speakers 6.5" Im just wondering where some of you guys(if any of you are audiphiles) mounted the crossover.

I have a 5ch amp and i want to use as little wire as possible. I was thinking of mounting the crossover under the seat and right now that seems like the best place. Any other ideas?

This is for a s14.

i just got a set of Cadence components for my s14
i was planning on mounting the crossovers under the dash somewhere above the kick panels

They sit in the door...seriously...they just sit there.

drivers side- next to the fuse box inside the car and for the passenger side I removed the glovebox and mounted the crossover behind it and then put the glove box back in. Its nice and out of the way.
Or on my other S14 I had a set mounted with heavyduty double sided tape on the inside of the door panels

they are fine in the door. on the other side of the plastic part of course. do u kno wwhere to mount the tweeters? when i had my s14 i mounted mine where ive never seen someone mount them. in front of the door handle inbetween the vent and it. looked like an oem place if u have the right material to cover it

My crossovers are pretty big i think. About 5"x4"x2". I think ill try and mount both behind the glove. Also my friend told me to buy some rubber cups to mount the speakers in just to protect from moisture. I did however have to widen out the plastic speaker mount to get the new speakers to fit =\.

Whats the easiest way to route the wire through the door? I tried yesterday but it gets jammed and i dont really feel like removing the dash. I dont know if i mentioned it before, but Im replacing the stock 18ga wire with 12ga or 14, i forget.

Nope. No problems with moisture. I dunno if it applies to s14's but I drilled the holes in my door panels for the tweeter in my s13.

i went through the rubber wire thingy that the stocks went through. takes some patience but id rather it done right than halfassed.

^^ Yeah thats always the best.

On another note, can you guys post pics up of your systems? Trunk/amps/components stuff like that.
