Doing "active crossover" is a non-trivial task, involving one amplifier for each driver - mid-bass and high (and mid, if one wants a 3-way active) . The frequency band that one wants to allow through each driver is set either at the HU (then the HU must have separate outputs for each f band) or at the amp (then the amp must support 'band-pass'). For 2-way components, you will need a 4-ch amp.

You have 2 courses of action:
1. Get the cross-over as a spare (maybe a pair) from JBL
2. Make a new pair of cross-overs - search for XO or Crossover related threads for the values to use (I think 5KHz in too high - should be preferably 4Khz) (you may get ready-made crossovers at SP Road, at Globe or such shops)
