I am installing new Bostons Acoustics SR60 in my doors. Any ideas how and where to mount crossovers?

I can't come up with anything besides using 3M tape and attaching them to outer door skin...



These crossovers are huuuuuge...

LS WHAT

those are large cross-overs, I wouldn't mount them on the door unless you can keep them from rattling or coming loose, most cross-overs are nothing more than a capacitor diode which you connect them inline with the speaker wires, unless they are real cross-over which looks like a spool of copper wires, I'd bet if the cross-overs you show are light in weight they are nothing more then a capacitor.

It is passive crossover, which has Capacitor and solenoid.

LS WHAT

the big enclosure looks nice but, you can get the rate of the Capacitor, inductor not needed and just buy two of them which would cost about .99c for both at Radio shack or the likes and run them in serials like the picture shows.

Hah, I didn't think about it!

i just doubled over some duct tape to keep them in place at the bottom of the door. it's been a year and a half and still no problems

No, you can't. i won't go in to details, but you will not be happy with the sound quality from the sh!tty components found at the shack. Not only are they the wrong type of capacitors, they are poor quality. Needless to say, BA components are nothing to sneeze at. Don't mess with a perfectly designed crossover. You can mount them in the glove box, under the dash, inside the door panel, in the trunk, any where you want to really, all you need is to run the wiring to and from.

If you still feel you would rather do something more compact, go to partsexpress.com, or jameco electronics. They have everything you need.

LS WHAT

lol, whatever

devongarver

Disagree? You certainly do need the inductors BTW, and the capacitors are in parallel...just sayin...

LS WHAT

fender1983, if you go to RS, you will see that all their electronics they have are no different then anywhere else, they even have everything for building speakers, woofer, midrange, tweeters, enclosures, wires everything you need, I don't know what devongarver is talking about that "the wrong type of capacitors, they are poor quality" lol, they are all built in china and are all identical, just like computer parts. fender just do what your gut tells you, the human ear can't detect the range differences from different capacitors, like cd player, our ears can’t distinguish the sound difference between a $1000 cd player and a $40 cd player.
