I was just wondering where are the front crossovers situated? Is it inside the door or where, because I didnt see it when I was removing the door plastic.

There are none, its a small capacitor built into the back of the tweeter.

Unless of course you got the optional extra Focals.

Ah yes, missed the fact he has the 1.3 diesel not the 1.9SRI +

Also his is the opel, and in serbia, which makes it less likely, unless it was one of the first batch of 9000 that made it past the Turks.

Then how am I supposed to amp them with external amplifier?

Standard speaker + new amplifier is not a good idea, youll blow something up.
The answer is just run the wires to the woofer in the bottom of the door, the tweeter is simply connected in parallel to the woofer.

No you won't.
As for amping them, yep, you just use the existing wire that goes to the mid bass speaker.

considering they take about 9W as standard, Id have thought amping was a mostly stupid idea.

Nope, they take plenty more.
