Default Crossover location?

I bought a set of CDT Audio's 6.5" components (the CL-61's) for my 5th gen Civic sedan and I'm trying to figure out a good place to put the crossovers. I have heard that they can be put in the door but I'm not sure where. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

anywhere you can hide it... in behind the speaker, etc... crossovers are usually passive devices that can be easily hidden.

Well, I 'd like to keep the xovers near the doors. I thought about putting them under the dash but there is no room there so maybe under the seats. The door would be most convenient but I don't want to put it anyplace where water will get to it, namely in the area between the metal panels. Only area that is left is on the interior side of the metal skin, behind the trim panel, but I don't believe that there is any room there....

Actually, it looks like a good spot. Doesn't look like a Civic door but I'll see if I can do something like it. Thanks!

there is also space on both sides of the steering wheel underneath the plastic cover(metal to mount to also) and behind the glove box depending on car......

also, look in front of the shifter console....i have a whole factory dech stashed behind there for sercurity/keyless entry to work.
