Crossover locations
Hello members,
I purchased a set of JL Audio C3-570 and I am curious as to where to mount the crossover for the front doors. My goal is to mount the tweeter high on the door panel vs. the a-pillars. Can the crossover be mounted behind the door panel somewhere? Does anyone have pics of their crossover mounted? Thanks.

I also sold the C3 tweeters to a friend and bought C2 tweeter because they are smaller and can go in the a-pillars, but your door panel idea should work fine too.

Fortunately I don't have molex connections on my truck so passing a wire through to the door was no big issue.
However, I did wire a set of Kicker components up for a friend and we were able to mount the crossovers on the back side of the door card. Kicker crossovers were smaller than the JL ones but I still think there may be enough room. I don't have any pictures of it though.

Power dependent, you can tie into the factory front door speaker wiring up in the dash behind the head unit, assuming that you do not have a factory amped stereo. I'm doing that on my 06. I am guessing that I will be able to remove a bit of the acoustic padding on the outer and lower section of the door panel, below the arm rest but above the lower storage area, and affix the cross over there. I will be tackling this project here in a few days, and will post pics when I get finished.
