You are partially correct;

The Alpines cannot do active.

The Clarion can.

If I may explain [try].
In any active set up, you need 2 things.
Individual Amplification for each driver & Active [veriable] X-Over.

This I think the Clarion offers. The Alpine does not.

I have posted what is needed, 5 to 6 posts above, please do take a look.

Thanks,
