I have Boston Z6: where tweeters and woofer have to connect to crossover and then to amps

if Mounting them in the door the crossover taking the beating of the door closing all the time, sooner or later, something is going to rattle loose.

Else I want to install inside the car...but how? Where can 4 wires (2xTweeter+2xWoofer) pass through inside,,,the car?,,,

Not to mention the huge dimensions of the Z crossovers- those things are huge. I'll put Pro crossovers in doors inside (towards the inside of the car ) of the water barrier all day long, and never have a problem, but the Z's are a different story. Many times you can install them somewhere up under the dash, and run the new wires through the factory wiring boots. This would the the ideal situation. Some vehicles are simple to run wires in- most trucks, and some are difficult- like many Chryslers/Dodges with Molex plugs. It all depends on the vehicle, but if I don't need to run wires into a door, I'll avoid it.
