Component Crossover placement

Greetings. I'm looking at getting a set of Infinity Ref 6020cs for my 2008 base Fit. I have a Pioneer DEHP5000UB installed. These components have been reviewed well, and are right in the high-end of my price range. I have JBL speakers at home and I love them, so I see no reason not to get these. However, the crossovers appear massive, so I'm not sure where the hell I'd stash them. I assume I can probably mount them somewhere inside the door panel (using lots of tape or something). However, I don't know if there's enough room back there. Any thoughts?

I think I know where I'm going to mount the tweeters. I saw a picture where someone mounted them just below the door pulls, and it looked clean. Any additional thoughts would be appreciated there. Thanks!

There's TONS of room in the dash on both sides of the 08 Fit

If you drop the glovebox down, there's room on the right corner, i just fit the huge Xover for my speakers there yesterday

As for the driver side, simply remove the coin tray panel and you'll see tons of room right there in front of the subframe of the dash

Is it difficult to run the stupid wires through the rubber boot into the door? That's the only thing that I dislike about that idea. However, should I eventually get an amp, that would make more sense (better speaker wire, etc).
