active or passive?

8 ohm tweeters is no big deal since tweeters are efficient and require less power, you just need a passive crossover for them that is specific to the tweeters.

go 4 ohm on the midbass since they will be less efficient and need more power.

if you go passive, you'll need to make your own crossover.

if you go active, you need amps with a 10x crossover multiplier switch or an external 2-way active crossover. a simple 4 channel amp and 2-way crossover would work fine.
