For my boat...I have purchased some of the older Polk MMC525 speakers and have made a roughly 7" square by 3" deep mahogany box for each. Just realized I need somewhere to place the crossover

I can fit the crossover in the box by removing the plastic top of the crossover and placing the crossover against the (Aluminum) silvery basket of the speaker..

Any problems with heat or other considerations?
