You could also drop crunches entirely and do hanging leg raises. I've always hated crunches so I started looking for something else and I do hanging leg raises religiously now.
If your abs aren't strong enough to raise your legs up parallel to the ground, raise your knees to your chest while keeping your body still. Ten reps is a set. I did 3 sets (30 second pause between sets) every other day for 4 weeks and then I started doing the actual leg raise. Once you get used to the leg raise you can do the windshield wiper, which is raising your legs past parallel and then rotating with your hips to each side. Or you can do the leg raise and then do a pull-up.
