I went with "2-way" components with tweeters in the dash and 6.5" in the doors. I have my crossovers under the seat but still looking for a better location. All components that I'm aware of are '2-way" setups, but I've seen '3-way' 6x9s that don't fit this car without some mods. The 4" slots in the dash currently sit without speakers in my setup.

There are 3-way component systems made by JL, Hertz, etc. that are like the stock system with 6.5" midbass, 3.5" or 4" midrange, and 1" tweeter.
You could power either setup a few ways. One amp channel per side and using a passive crossover is the most common/obvious.
Can also do 2 amp channels per side. On a 2-way you'd power the midbass and tweeters with different channels and use the amp crossover, no passive crossover. In a 3-way you could power the midbass off one channel then the midrange & tweeter together off the second. Use the passive crossover for this channel and the amp crossover for the midbass channel.
Could do 3 amp channels per side with a 3-way setup. This would be a full active system with all crossover points set by the amp (and HU for the sub/midbass crossover point) and no passive crossovers. Not sure I've seen anyone do this, but definitely possible.
