So what I'm trying to acertain is whether using the active crossover in my head unit rather than the crossovers that come with the speakers will result in poorer sound quality - some sales people have said it would.
Thanks,

I missed the part about you having a amp already.
However once again, there're pros and cons to going both active and passive. If you go active and mess up your crossover points you could blow your tweeters and or your woofers, tuning takes hours even days to get everything sounding just right.
So once again I say if you want ease of install and setup go passive and use the speaker crossovers, if you want more control and have the time to tune everything from octave, to crossover frequencies, and so on go active.
Go to DIYmobileaudio and search active, there are tons of threads explaining what you need to know.
I will be running a 3 way setup. I must be crazy!!!!
