Do you ask if and where? There are not really many crossbows and the best is light crossbow of speed - you can buy it early in Beregost. There are other crossbows but not before chpater 5 if I remember well. Coming to mail - in chapter 3 you can get full plate armour (AC =1, add cloak or ring of protection and have AC=0) why would you like to have splint mail+1 (if I remember well if some class can use splint mail can also use plate mail)?

Nope, you can't get them any earlier, at least not as far as I know.
Crossbow-wise, there are 3 really good ones in the game: The Light Crossbow of Speed that's for sale in Beregost, and the other 2 are both in Baldur's Gate; but one is kinda protected, since the guy who carries won't appear unless you did something earlier in the game, and doing that something is not generally held to be a good thing. This is why I, personally, have never even seen that Crossbow, but that's OK, I much prefer Bows anyway.
Splint-Mail wise, there are at least 3 sets of Splint+1 in the City. But who cares? You can't even get to BG without finding the Plate Mail +1. And in general, +1 armors are bad, because you can't wear Rings/Cloaks/Amulets of protection at the same time, and the Rings & stuff help your Saving throws, as well. The only +1 armors I would wear are the Ankheg, the Full Plate +1, and the Plate +3 (which is in ToSC).
