I need help with location of the crossover. I have a ‘00 RCSB Silverado. Let me know what y’all have done. The speakers are Infinity Kappa 60csx.

 

I'm not sure what you mean by placement? Are you looking for a location to install an active crossover unit or do you mean what points to set the crossover? If you're trying to figure out what Hz to set, you first need to know what the speakers/subs have for frequency range (look at the specs for your speakers). A good starting point is to set the subwoofer low pass at 100 Hz and slope of 18 db. That assumes an 8 inch sub, a larger sub might need to drop to 80 Hz. The front and rear (if present) set the high pass at 120 db and slope of 12 db. I have no idea what speakers are in your system, but like I said, this should get you in the ballpark. Post what you got and maybe we can figure it out.

 

Appreciate the help. I was talking about location of the crossover from a component set of speakers. They are Infinity Kappa 60csx.

 

LOL... well, I wasn't even close. These components are in the door? In my car I zip tied it to an out of the way place inside the door up a few inches off the bottom. You need to make sure it's not going to interfere with the window opening and closing. The side that is against the inner door I put that 3M mounting tape (double sided with foam cushioning to prevent rattles).

 

I seen someone else made a plate out of lexan and mounted it under the mid. I’m planning on using the heat gun to mold the area and mount it their as it’s a good spot with a lot of room.

How’s the double sided tape work out. I’ve used it in the past for other things and I must not have cleaned it good enough. If all else fails I’ll run more wire and mount it inside of cab with double sided tape.

 

3M has some heavy duty double sided tape, that stuff is tough. I suppose another thing to consider while mounting in the door is if it gets water in there, make sure it is mounted up away from the bottom.

 

Yeah, I see people throw them down on the bottom of the door. In a heavy rainstorm, unless your window seals are perfect, the crossover unit will be laying in a pool of water from time to time. You're right about the two sided mounting tape sometimes not sticking if the surface that hasn't been cleaned well. If you have extra Dynamat (or other damping material), you could use that to make it stick. I'd still use a couple zip ties to secure it.

 

I'd zip tie it or bolt it down, tape lets go in high temps. Find a spot in the door panel or stick them in the kick panel and run wires through the loom into the door. Personally I would put them in the doors unless I was running a good bit of power and needed to upgrade wiring.

I would try to stick them between the door panel and door frame to keep them better sealed from the elements.

 

You do not want to put them in the door. If you ever go to a carwash with pressured spray, you will get water in there, that won't dry up easy if sitting on screws or connections, and will rust them up. Not sure if they will fit, but there is a cubby hole behind the kick panels. You can mount them in that center section under the dash. Under the center seat.... Where did you mount your amp?

 

The one amp will be under the dr. seat and other will be under the pass. seat. I wish I would've seen this before I mounted them sandwiched between the panel and door frame where I have sound dampener. I might remount them under the dash, But I have a leak somewhere and under my sill plates collects water. I've seen on YouTube that the vents on the backside of the cab leak, that's the only place I could think of water getting in.
