Default Sony Factory Amp, factory wires and Crossovers

Hey Everyone

I have decided to upgrade my Front speakers with new components

I have a 2016 F150 Lariat with the Sony system

Putting in:
JL Audio C2650 Components
PDR-F50 Alpine Amp
10" Sub - Still looking into that
AudioControl LC6i

Will be using factory wiring for speaker runs so NOT running new wires

My questions are this.
I have heard that the Sony amp has the cross over built in for the front tweeters. How are you guys working around this when using the factory speaker wires?

The Sony amp has all the crossovers built into it. You can tap in your new amp after the Sony amp.
