Mounting crossovers in doors?

Got a set of Infinity Kappa 6.5" components on the way, and would like to know how some of you guys with comp sets up front have mounted your crossovers in the doors? Any location/method best to secure them? Also, are the tweeters easy to replace into the stock location, or is some modification needed?

Just follow this tutorial exactly and you will have no problems. I did it exactly that way and it was very simple. PM me if you have any more questions.

The tweeters are easy to replace, just remove the stock tweeter from the connecting plate, secure the new tweeter to the plate, and reinstall the plate. I used plastic tie wraps to secure each crossover to the existing wires in the doors.

Its not that easy with the Infinitys tweeters. It requires you to cut out a hole in the stock tweeter location with a 1.75" hole saw. As you can see in the pic the tweeter is much larger than the stock one....

If you replace the 3/4" stock tweeter with a 1" tweeter it will fit just fine.

But he has the Infinitys which require a bigger hole. Same as the ones pictured.

I installed Infinity 10.2T 1" tweeters, they did not require a bigger hole.

Fantastic writeup dave, that should help me out a lot. The kappa tweeters are 1", so hopefully they wont require much if any cutting in the stock location. Maybe the Perfect tweeters you have are different? Either way thanks for some help guys, and any other suggestions will be appreciated.
