The car is a convertible with 10 spearkers. There is none in the back but instead they are 4 on the SIDES of the back seat.

I bought some MB Quart PSC213 for the back and some MB Quart 325.21 for the front. There is 2 sets of crossovers (4 total). Here is the situation now. I can't find an amp. I looked in the back but there is convertible motor. I also looked on the part CD and I don't see it.
1- Is there an amp in the convertible?
If I am right and there is no amp in the convertible then I could use the crossover for the PSC213 because they have 2 IN and 2 OUT.
the crossover for the 325.21 though have only 1 IN and 3 OUT(kicker, door midrange and door tweeter).

2- If there is no amp, How should I wire the front crossover??

Plan B (I need some help here too)
If I get/need an amp
3- Should I still use those MB crossover or should I get an amp without built-in crossover? (suggestion for 5 channel amp appreciated pls)

If I get an amp might as well be a 5 chan amp, I will add a sub in the future.
4-Do they make 5 chan amp without crossover?

Today, I installed the speakers without the crossover. It sounds bad. One also sounds like its blown(constantly squeaks and little bass). It must be because I shoot 12 watt in a 40watts (rms.) to 100watts speaker. I won't use the system until I solve the situation.

Any help is appreciated, thanks guys
