Additionally, you could even re-use the factory audio lines that run from the radio in the dash to the factory amp, if you got the right adapter for the dash radio plug.

Actually the speaker do not come with crossovers as I will be running them active via the HU which has a very comprehensive set of crossovers, time alignment and the like....
