Default No B&O system but amplifiers in each front door????

I was having an installer put in some JL speakers in my front and rear doors along with 2 aftermarket amps and a set of JL Subs. He kinda went into it blindly as he had not seen any of my set up or components i wanted installed. Anyways when he got into it he called me and said the truck has an amplifier in each front door powering the tweeter, front and rear speaker. This 2018 Ford F150 does not have the B&O system in it.
he installed my door speakers but didnt get any further than that. I did get online with Crutchfiled and they stated we may need a Line Out Converter, any ideas on how to wire the amps on this set up?
thanks

i saw them but just didnt take a picture of them. Could have been a crossover for sure however Crutchfield said that in some of the NON B&O F150's Ford used a small, less powerful 2 channel amplifier on the front doors to power the front, rear and pillar speakers .
Thanks for the replies.
