Folks,
I really should be fitting my Infinity components up front now that I've got a head unit in. They are stock sized 5.25" mids and a pair of tweeters. Where is the best place to hide the crossovers? They seem to be quite big, about the size of a fag packet and I'd really appreciate a suggestion before I start pulling trim out.
cheers

Fit them behind the centre console, under the dash in the middle :)

I put mine behind the kick panels - plenty of room there

Last time, I put the drivers side one behind the panel under the steering wheel/above your legs, and the other one in the glove box!!!!
Not exactly a quality install but it did the job!! Lol!!

Mine are similarly located.
One is cable tied to the ecu, the other is above the glove box trim, and out of the way.

It save's having to remove lots of trim in order to hide them out of the way.
