Default Power Pack and Crossover locations

I found the perfect spot for the Alpine Power Pack amplifier in the 2011 thru 2014 dash. Remove the glovebox to reveal a space just the right size between the glovebox hinges and bottom of the dash. This is like a little shelf that I utilized by securing the amp with a few strips of Velcro. It can be easily removed and is completely hidden and secure.

Where did you guys locate your Alpine Power Packs?

Where is a good place to locate front dash component speaker crossovers?
I just bought the Polk DXi-6501 system.

I just installed one of them today and zip tied it behind the dash under the steering column. That is a great little amp! I bridged it to power my 2 front speakers. I put my crossovers behind the glove box in the upper right corner. The driver side has plenty of room to mount the crossover. Now I just need to add a sub.

There is also a place behind the glove box just to the left that will fit an amp bigger than the power packs. I have a PBR500 with a little room to spare. I just bent a custom mount out of some scrap metal.

I put my crossovers in the ends caps on each side of the dash. This covers you can get to when you open the front doors. Easy access to the tweeters from there.
