Passive Vs Active for Mid/High

I'm struggling to grasp how I sort the crossover out for my mid/high

I looked at passive but seems I might struggle to get the right one and it may not actually be the best option as already have an active crossover.

What I don't understand is how to split the 12" diver and compression driver?

Will I need a separate amp for each or do I just wire them to the same speakon output and can use one amp?

If so how would I split frequency between the two?

Basic stuff, but if anyone can explain or point me in the direction of a diagram I'm sure i could pick it up quick enough.

Cheers!

That's great, I was thinking of everything in bridged so didn't think of splitting the channels.

What I still don't understand is that I have a 12" driver and a compression driver in one speaker cabinet. How do I wire them internally? Do i have to have each driver wired to a separate speakon input (2 speakon overall)?
