How and where you mount your crossovers depends on whether you use active or passive crossovers. A good reason to use an amplifier with a built-in crossover is that you don’t have to find an extra place to mount another component or run additional wires.
Electronic crossovers
Installing an electronic crossover is much like installing a remote-mount equalizer: You’ll typically want to mount it with the amplifiers to make it easy to add more amps in the future and easy to make adjustments to the crossover. As with an EQ, you want to mount an electronic crossover on a board and not directly to the metal body of the car.
Passive crossovers
If your speakers come with separate crossovers, you can mount them along with the speakers (inside a door, for example) if there’s room. But if you need to make adjustments to them, installing crossovers next to the amplifier is a good choice. As with EQs and active crossovers, avoid mounting passive crossovers directly to the metal body of the car.
