Where to mount tweeters, crossover?
Ok so I bought a set of components for my truck. T1682S off ebay for what I think was a pretty good deal considering the MSRP is 429.99$ and I got them for 125$. They arrived here yesterday and everything came with it, thank god. I moved the other RF's I had in the door to the rear and took out the stock ones. This is where my question comes in though.
Where is the best/easiest place to do a flush mount for the tweeters and where does everyone put the crossover? I have seen many different places for the tweeters such as on the door panel, on the dash, a-pillar, in the defrost vent, on the black panel next to the door handle. Which one is easiest to do, I'm willing to cut. I was thinking either a-pillar or on door panel. And what about the crossover, should I just put that in side the door somewhere? Any help or pictures of what you did would be helpful.

Yeah, I got power windows. That's why I was debating weather the crossover could go in the door. Also, as of right now I don't yet have an amp, but will be getting one soon, if that makes a difference. I was thinking of mounting the tweeters where you guys said to, so I'll probably put them there. Does it matter where the crossover is? I thought I read something somewhere that said you should have it as close as possible.

I'm not sure if anybody has done this yet, but I want to mount my tweeters in the black bezel on the top dash up near the windshield, so you don't just get all highs and not much mid bass. I was also thinking about mounting my crossovers in the glove box. My x-overs have level adjustments for the tweeters. So if i ever needed to adjust them, I don't have to tear my doors apart. Just my $.02...

ive got two sets up infinity kappa perfect 6.1's one 6.5" driver is in the door, the other in a fiberglass kickpanel i got the crossovers under my false floor i built for my sub/amps and i have two leads, one for the drivers wired in parallel and the other for the tweet....each running to each door. haveing the crossovers way back doesnt make a damn bit of difference IMO.
