(1) Where are good places to mount cross-overs? (I dont want them to be visible)

Note: I noticed that the crossovers were open (not enclosed). Will dust harm the electrical components of the cross-overs?


(2) What is that switch for? It reads -3db and 0db.

 

nice choice with Elemental Designs.

 

How about the MM&Y of car you want to hide them in?

The switch is an "attenuation" switch. it will cut the output of the tweeter by 3dB, [-3dB].

Your speakers did not come with a manual? 94

No manual unfortunately.

 

If you're really up to it, you can put the the crossovers somewhere inside the cabin: in the dash, under the front seats, kick panels, etc. If not then inside the doors is good enough.

Btw about the manual, just go ahead ask any the of the eD reps. They're more than willing to help you out. Their customer service always keep me satisfied

 

You can install them behind the door panels, NOT INSIDE THE DOORS mount them between the door panel and the doors vapor barrier.

The x-overs are not weatherproof, although a little dust will not hurt them moisture will destroy them.

If the x-overs are not too big you should be able to find a spot towards the back of the door, under armrest that they will fit and not interfere with the door panel fitting back on properly. 94

Cool thanks, I think im gonna do that. Is there anything I can use to stop vibrations or rattles rather? Should I mount them? just screw them onto the plastic or use velcrow maybe?

 

If you can, mount them to the door itself, behind the door panel, then you won't be swearing every time you have to take the door panel off.

The easiest way to mount a x-overs properly in you doors is...

First, as already mentioned, mount them on the dry side of the vapor barrier.

Second, also mentioned, obviously mount them where they do not interfere with remounting of the door panel.

Third, mount them solidly, use both mounting "tabs/screw holes", ideally you will have a flat surface big enough for both mounting tab/holes where it will not interfere with the door panel and nothing on the other side of the sheet metal that could be damaged by a drill bit/self taping screw.
More then likely, you will only be able to catch one mounting screw on a flat surface, leaving the other one above a dimple or hole in the sheet metal, temptation would be to use just one mounting screw, especially if the one screw holds it nice and tight, and you could maybe get away with it, for a while, but eventually it would probably work itself loose.
This is what I use... http://www.scosche.com/product.../1379 to make a simple little bracket so I can use the second mounting hole on the x-over, you don't want to have to pull the door panel again to remount a loose x-over. 94
