Default where to mount crossover?

I just installed some focal components in my doors, which sound amazing, but I can't figure out where to mount the crossover? I fully dynamated the doors so the inner door panel won't really work, any ideas?

I mounted one above the brake pedal, if you look up there you can see a good section to mount it using some 3M Velco/Locking Tape. The other one when behind the glove box.

If it's flat enough, you can mount it inside the door on the bottom furthest to the front. Just make sure it doesn't interfere with the window rolling all the way down.

I shoved mine way back in the doors. Right now they are sitting at the bottom of the door just a little further back from the center. My window system is aftermarket though so it may not be the same for you.

I fit them inside the door panel, but I don't have it dynamatted. Out of curiosity, which model Focal components did you get. I have their base model, 165A1's in the doors and 165CA1's in the back, on an Alpine amp. They sound awesome, so I can only imagine what the higher models sound like.

I have the FA165KX, I think it might have been a Euro version though because I cant find any info on them. They sound AMAZING
