Crossover mounting for component speakers?

Where did you guys mount your crossover for your aftermarket front component speakers?

How did you mount them? Did you drill new holes, use existing holes if available, zip ties, etc?

Mine was super ghetto. I basically taped them to the door but they're in a position that they are essentially wedged in when the door panel goes on between the speaker and armrest.

This may not work if you have smaller crossovers though.

I don't have a picture, but I mounted mine using velcro in the map holder section of the door. I drilled a small hole for the wires to pass through on the inside of the door and then mounted the crossover. It was nice to be able to adjust it and you couldn't even tell it was there!
 
The problem I've run into in the past when installing crossovers was not being able to attach the door panel on all the way & when I tried installing it under the dash, I didn't like the mess of the wires even though it was tucked away.
 
Depending on the size of your crossovers, there is enough space between the top of the speaker and the end of the switches/armrest.

Thats the area I was thinking about mounting it. I've used zip ties and velcro straps before but it didn't feel very secure because I could wiggle it around by hand. I've usually gone with infinity reference or the equivalent kicker because install was easier compared to the larger higher end speakers I've had experience with.

Kinda considering going with coaxials to avoid trying to figure out where to mount the crossover.

Some double sided tape would hold them in place honestly. Since it's a tight fight anyway, you don't need much to hold it in place. I have some kappa components in mine now and was able to fit everything nicely.
 
I mounted mine to the inside door panel (metal part) using 3m double sided foam tape, and it has held perfect for almost 4 years now. Ehy wouldn't you mount it in the door close to the speakers? That's the easiest for wiring

I second this, mine are in my door. Why have a mess of wiring? Just take out the speaker and mount and put it right behind there.

Here's from my audio thread:

I also mounted mine in the map pocket with Velcro. You hardly ever notice them.

If I didn't use that pocket for other stuff I would consider putting it there.
 
Behind the kick panel, you may not have room since you've got an 02, I know they hide a lot of electronics behind them.

How much stuff do you usually have in the pocket? I also kept maps and various papers in there as well and they had plenty of room.

Varies depending on what I'm doing but not uncommon to have a few tools in there, dirty fishing stuff, knives, shooting gear etc.
