why not just get a set of components that come with a crossover instead of going with a 3 way. crossovers are also not expensive. there are expensive crossovers but there are also cheap crossovers out there. the more expensive ones have more that you can adjust such as tweeter db, slopes etc. where as the cheaper ones have only 1 setting that you cant adjust. also remember, the amp you are connecting them to will have some sort of crossover adjustments which you can play with as well.
in my opinion, forget about the 3 ways, 3 ways are only good if you get some highend ones which allow you some detailed adjustments as 3 ways are the toughest to image correctly. get a set of 2 ways (woofer, tweeter, crossover) and run the door speakers (not the tweeter) off of the new headunit. actually my headunit allows me to shut off the speakers that are not hooked up to the amp and just run the floor speakers and it sounds A LOT better like that.
depending on your budget, you have a lot of choices.

What if i wanted to wire everything to a 5 channel amp for instance.. is it easy to "pull" the wire from the floor speaker area to say to the back without removing panels?
2 ways will work perfectly like you suggested, great idea since I don't care about the "bass" from the front anyways. I thought I read from earlier that the 2way choices are limited based on the sizing. And if i replace the 2 speakers up front, i'm assuming i defintely have to pop open the panels (i hate this part since i always either break clips or it never aligns right to me..).
I don't need anything fancy, 2 ways will work ok for me and I feel the car has plenty of "bass" as I always have to lower it otherwise the it gets annoying to me. I just want to make sure the 2 ways "fit" without having to drill. This sounds like a fun project.. I haven't done this stuff for almost 10 years now and definitely don't remember it being this complex for a standard 4 speaker system =)
