Crossover mount in rear doors?

[911jason]

Has anyone mounted an external crossover in their rear doors? I'm trying to install these Infinity Kappas but if I leave the crossover dangling as low as possible from the bottom of the speaker, the window hits it when it slides to the down position. Any ideas?

is it attached like that?

If you have a first gen then you could zip tie it to one of the speaker supports.

Yes, and the cord is fairly short.

So I installed the speakers this morning.

Rather than try to figure out a way to keep the crossover anchored inside the door somehow, I realized there was enough room right next to the speaker on the inner door itself. So I had just enough length on the factory speaker wire to poke it through the foam door "skin" (for lack of a better word). I ran the crossover cord between door and the speaker mounting adapter. I used heavy-duty velcro to mount the crossover itself right next to the speaker. The tweeters are on a swivel so they can be aimed up and they have a 0db/-3db button to tone them down if so desired.

These speakers blow away the Polk DB 5x7 coaxials they replaced. Very happy with the sound.
