Question about mounting crossover

So i blew out one of my front infinitys the other day, (they only take 55 rms and my amp puts out 75rms) so im sure that had something to do with it. But ive ordered new Infinity 6010cs's. Question, wheres the best place to put the crossover in the door?

Under the Dash is an easy place to put them and you wont have to run as much wire as putting them in the trunk. Although spyder's set up does look really nice.

75rms shouldn't harm the speakers unless it is garbage power or you were driving the amp into distortion or x-over is set too low.

No my amp was fine, nothing was distorted, and my headunit was set to like 100hz on the cut off, idk what happned, it was loud, and only one blew so who knows.

Well my crossover has to be in the door panel somewhere to keep wiring easy, not looking to run wires all over the place again, any suggestions anyone?

not really, especially if you have manual locks and mirrors, there is a lot of room not being used. just run the wires through the harness with dripp holes in it.
