You don't need an active xover the speakers have bi amping provision. Connect the pre outputs directly to your amps, remove the jumpers from the back of the speakers and connect each set of binding posts to an amp.

i'm using a 4 monoblock setup. while you can do without an active crossover and use the passive crossovers in the speakers, you will get benefits by using an active crossover and bypassing the passive ones.

I agree with Edwyun. I would also add that unless an active crossover is used, there is no real benefit to using 4 amps rather than 2.
