Try the audio section, you will find all the info you need.

I put my crossovers under the drivers side panel. Under the steering wheel area. The tweeters are mounted on the new speaker mounts just next to the speakers.

your better off with a nice pair of coax and put the components in the doors
the components will really need some mor epower to maximize the performance they are designed for

the Infinity speakers are very harsh on the ears as well. You can do better for same money
let me know if you want a speaker upgrade option that will work with the stock head unit.

i had a chance to NIB cheap. but i prefer polk. i'll do te coax so as not to alter the interior and eliminate crossover placement.
