I will soon be fitting some separates into the front of the car, but am not too sure where to hide the cross-overs?

I guess on the drivers side that I can mount it somewhere above the knee-roll, but am not at all sure where to put the passenger side one, as space above the glove-box is a bit tight with the phone kit and iPod interface.

What have others done?

Thanks!

one can go above the glove box or under where the carpet meets the glove box and one above the ECU..

Thanks, will try there.

Very little room round ECU, but perhaps further back would be worth a try.

Remove the centre console and right underneath the middle of the dash (in between the 2 footwells) theres loads of space. Just drop the wires straight down from the stereo to the Xovers then run new wires from the Xovers to the speakers up behind the glovebox and up behind the ECU. I used a little bit of carpet adhesive to stop them sliding oll over the place!

I found that real easy to work with, less fidgety.
