here is a picture of my crossovers, one in each kickpanel, and the other in each rear fill speaker location.

Wherever they wont get broken. LOL. Some people like to show off their x-overs, some dont. Just find a suitable location to locate them.

Thanks for your input guys.

Also, where would be a good place to but the big crossover boxes??

On certain cars you can take one side of the boot out and squash it over to the other side and then just pass your wire through without all the fishing. On some cars that doesn't work so well, but some it does.

i use a big ass zip tie to fish through the rubber boots

I use a cable fish tape to run speaker wires thru them rubber deals. Otherwise its usualy a pain to get them thru there.

I would use a small piece of dynamat or a deflex pad behind the speaker. Mount it/stick it right behind the speaker.

As for the tweeter I would put them up in the sail panels with a slight angle towards the seats. Or you can just use double sided tape and move them around until you find the sweet spot, then do it permanetly.

The standard speaker cover should be fine. Just test fit it first and make sure the woofer isnt gonna hit when its moving. It shouldnt, but just check.

Where do you plan on mounting the tweets? You have a nice plastic panel at the top of your door that could house a tweet nicely.

Ok, what about the standard speaker cover?? Would it be alright>?

wht kind of car is this? i dont really see the issues.....it looks like a 5.25 will fit there no problem and as far as getting the wires in there just feed thim in through the kick panel where the rubber come in the car.....

Hi,

I have finally got round to fitting my MB Quart QSD 213 5"25 components after about a year or so.
I would really like some expert advice on what would be the best way to fit the speakers, also on best tweeter location.

I have attached some photos of my car and the speaker mounting locations. It is only a very small hatch back car. I would like to keep the standard speaker covers (grills), as they would give a nice stealth look without drawing unwanted attention. Would these limit sound in any way?? I plan to use the screws that came with the speakers. Also what would be the best way to run the speaker wires from the door to the inside of the car??

All pictures show the various areas of concern.

I just want some help in order to do these speakers justice, as I paid a bit for them.

Many many thanks to anyone who can offer any advice :)
