There isn't much room the crossover. The stock system uses a simple small capacitor to filter
the frequencies. There's just enough room by the connectors. Use 2-way tape to secure it in place.

Reinstall the door panel making sure the crossover clears the reinforcement bars and electric
window motor. As always, once the panel in place, test the door controls to make sure everything
works!
