Pete, Darius, engin_ear and others:

Here's how I solved the problem of the possibility of the crossover popping out when someone shuts a door too hard or if I hit a bad bump:

Here's a pick of the back side -- no more electrical tape and I've cut a vent in the headliner material to allow the crossover to breathe:

Good work. Now that I'm seeing it, just for another suggestion I should have mentioned that I always just use clear silicone to glue something in like your crossovers - holds well enough, and can always be cut out again if necessary.

I saw a 4" hot glue gun @ Target last night $1.99.

Yeah, hot glue real good too, but I'm always afraid that it begins to melt on those scorching hot summer days.

If you use the high-temp glue, there's no chance of a hot day melting it. A hair dryer blowing on it for several minutes doesn't even make it soft.

Looks good ..............I hope that the vibration from speaker does not damage the crossover...........I installed mine away from speaker for that reason...Link below..

What's the high-temp glue? Is it generally available? I don't ever remember seeing a high-temp hot glue. I assume it takes quite a bit longer to melt when applying?

There are two main types of hot glue: low temp and high temp. They look the same and work the same way, but the glue gun you use them with gets hotter. The high temp glue may take longer to melt, but not a whole lot longer. The low temp glue you can melt with a hair dryer, so it's easier to correct a mistake. Both can be found at hobby and art supply stores like Michael's, Hobby Lobby, A.C. Moore, etc.

The low temp glue is good for bonding delicate or heat sensitive material, and the gun for it heats up to 250 F.
The high temp glue is good for bonding metals, plastics, and ceramic, and the gun for it heats up to 350 F.
They make guns for either type of glue, and a dual temp gun that can use both types.

The following link shows some different types of glue guns.
