I'm in the planning stage of a door component speaker install. I will be installing Polk 6530s, where are people hiding their crossovers?

 

Inside the door panel, near the bottom-back of the panel there is a plastic box/void. I unscrewed the screws holding it onto the door panel. Screwed my Polk 6530 crossover into that panel box. Screw the box back on. Repeat on other door.

 

Same place as staffordaz, but I used strong velcro instead of screws.

 

Thanx, It always nice to know what your up against when starting a project.

 

Are the crossovers nice looking?? If so why not show them off?

Just my two cents?

 

hows the outcome??? i'm thinkin about gettin those speakers as well..

 

Do it. . . . . Easy install and the 6530s made a world of difference. I also installed an inexpensive set of rear speakers for fill. I am sooooo glad I didn't invest a bucket full of money on amp, headunit, etc. Plenty of room behind door panels for X-overs (I used velcro). Check this thread, it was very very helpful. https://www.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.php?...&threadid=99011

 

Sorry-quick question:

Are you alluding to simply using the Head Unit with the Polk system? If so, can I assume the Polk's are replacements for the original door speakers?

I apologize, but I clearly know little about sound systems.

Thx-Rob.

 

That's correct Rob. The OEM headunit is not that bad with decent speakers. Let me put to you on a 1 - 10 scale. The OEM set up was a 5 at best. The additional rear speakers and the Polk 6530 replacement raised the bar to a solid 8.

By the way Vancouver is a great town. Have you tried Cin Cin it's a GREAT little Italian place. Also, my wife and I got the biggest kick out of the Condom Store that, at first, reminded us of a candy shop. Oh and the island.

 

Thanks-appreciate the info.
