Default Jaguar XF 2012 sound system upgrade

Sound system is claimed to be 400W and contains 10 speakers.
I have bought three way speakers for front and audio control line converter. My target is to improve sound quality at front.
I want to do it myself so the question is what amplifier do i need to buy to power three way speakers at front? Shall it be 4 or 6 channel amp?
Any advice will help

What type of crossover did your three way speaker set come with?

And how many channels does you line driver have?

The speakers came with original passive crossover, but it is not in use. At the moment there is no crossover in it. I believe there somewhere are some capacitors built in because speakers sound normally.
PS 165 F3 - Focal
That is link to speakers.
Line driver is Audiocontrol LC7i with 6 channels not installed yet
LC7i - AudioControl
Next purchase will be audison bit one processor which can be used as crossover as well.
Wiring diagram shows that tweeter and midrange goes on one channel and woofer to another. Does it mean I need to get 4 channel amp for front? OR maybe i can get 6 channel amp and connect each speaker with own channel.
What are Your thoughts about this project? Which way will be better to go?
Many thanks!

This(what you said) will be a lot of hassle to do anyway
I prefer front stage and stereo sound and that is main reason why I am going this way.
