Mount the crossover inside the door, but slip it into a taped-up plastic bag to keep water off it. They don't need to be on display, and IMO they look crap when they're just screwed onto the door card.

Try a few different mounting positions for the tweeter, like down with the woofer in the door, up the top of the door, on your kick panel, on your dash, etc. Choose the position that sounds best to you.

imo you're better off putting the crossover under the dash somewhere. that way you can use the line that goes into the door as the wire for the woofer. Then you have the flexiblity to wire the tweeter onto the A pillar or dash without having to run another wire out of the door.
Of course it would be best if you replaced the old wiring into the door with new wires.

i put my crossovers in the kick panels, easiest place to get to if there was an issue
