How should I run these?

I'm would like to know the best way to run some Rainbow Slc265. I have a Eclipse cd4000 hu and using an Eclipse EA4000 amp to run them. My question is, could I run the components without using the crossovers, just using the amp or would it be better to bridge the amp and use the crossovers? Thanks for you help.

You could run them active with the eclipse if it has xover frequencies up to 3000hz.

I'm not sure what you mean. He is a link to the amplifier. http://www.eclipse-web.com/amp/ea4000.html
Just wondering what would be the best way to run the Rainbow's.
Anyone else have this set up or experience with something like it?
