Thanks,

Absolutely not. I think your "sales people" got it all wrong... I would go active 10 times out of 10, and your head unit provides you the perfect tool for it. There are differences in every cars acoustics, as well as speaker placement options and a passive crossover is not going to provide you with the ability to make adjustments to compensate for all the little nuances you are bound to encounter. Being savvy with a soundboard tells me you are comfortable understanding frequencies and crossover points, and should be more than capable to tune your system on your own.
Hook that badboy up, and get rockin'
