Default Componnent Crossover location

I bought a set of CDT components and I know this has been covered but where do you guys mount your crossovers? I don't want to put them in the door. Is there an issue with putting them in the back with the amp? I was thinking under the seat too. I can't imagine changing the settings much.

I always put them near my amps for easy access. Door mounting is just a bad idea, mho.

90-100 RMS per channel. I bought 16AWG today. Also, got a chance to listen to the JL XR's today. To be honest, thought the Boston Pro series had a better balance. Both awesome sets though.
