Default Crossovers?

I got some crossovers with my new door speakers im planning to install tomorrow, and I heard that because of the stock amp I wouldn't need them. I dont know alot about car audio, but is this true? If not then what would be the best way to mount them?

It depends on what kind of speakers you install. No, you really can't use the crossover in the way it was intended because the doors already have separate wiring for mids and tweeters. But if you didn't buy component speakers then you're going to run into the issue of having four speaker wires and only two speaker connections.

He has the CL-E61CV's. He won't use the crossover in this case. Wire them straight to the door speaker coonector from the stockers and plug them in. Just pay attention to which pair is going to the tweeter and which pair os going to the midbass before you cut the connector off.
