2way active or xovers?

[2ndroundko 10+ year member]

As of now my car has a factory amp I must bypass in order to compete my instal. My car came equipped with 4 mid spiders and 4 tweeters in the doors from the factory. Would it be better to run a active setup running my tweeters to the front channell on my amp and spiders off the rear channel or buy some crossovers and run it that way I also could just run bass blockers on the tweeters so manny options what what do you guys suggest?

Either buy a full passive component set or go active.

You need to know what frequency the tweeters are designed to play. Not sure how to know that for factory comps. Could be anywhere from 3500-6000 Hz. If you buy an aftermarket comp set it'll be one of the specs.
