Default Best placevto mount Crossovers?

Looking for for best, easiest place to mount the crossovers on my new set of Focal Components...either on the door templates or under the dash, driver or passenger side, any suggestions?
Thx

You should probably avoid installing them in the doors - they will be exposed to a lot of moisture and vibration in there.

Check out Kedar's installation thread for pics of one of the best locations to mount Focal crossovers...

Here's a link for you:

Use 3M dual lock velcro (nice heavy-duty stuff) to mount the crossovers in the cavity above the passenger floor boards. I have pictures of this cavity in my install thread (linked above). There is a lot of space above the passenger side. To access it, pull the two plastic pins that hold up the plastic panel and then remove the light and stick your head in the floor board and look up and towards the side of the car.
