or you can just go to Mouser and just order the right capacitor and then wire it into the positive lead. That will take up next to no space.

No, dont do that, it will sound like poop. The crossover for the tweeter on the momo comps is a 12db/oct like specified earlier and just using "the right capacitor" from mouser or PE or anywhere else would make it a 6db/oct and the power handling would greatly be reduced and there would be a chance of damage again. Plus polk took a lot of time to get a flat frequency response on those and there would be a huge peak around 1-2k because the woofer would still be playing it and the tweeter would be playing twice as loud as it would have been with the 12db crossover.
Just use the crossovers. Put them whereever you can and run the wires clear across the car if you have to.
fiberglass reminds me of peanut brittle... but fiberglass tastes better!

Fine so you wire in a capacitor and an inductor and make a 2nd order high pass filter. Typically from what I noticed the resistance of a tweeter is slightly lower to make up for that. As a materials engineer I know that the size of a cross over's components don't need to be that large, it's just a network of capacitors and inductors that are geometrically controlled by dielectric constants and what have not.
