Passive crossover location

Recommended Posts

Alright, so I got a questions about passive crossovers. Should I mount my passive crossovers near my amp and have a long run to the speakers or should it be the opposite and have the crossover near the speakers (as close as I can anyways)? Thanks!

It depends on how much wire you want to use. I put mine up front in the kick panels.

In the end, it doesnt really matter. The only concern is cost of wire. In terms of wire resistance, if you size wire appropriately, measured DC resistance will be negligible between the two setups.

Awesome! Thanks for the responses everyone! I got plenty of speaker wire so I just have to decide to put them with my amp rack or hidden in the dash, which is where they are now but they are very sloppily placed haha.
