- Is a separate device required, such as the above mentioned 4 channel amp, to handle crossover concerns between the components?
- If a crossover is required, how does the 4 channel amp setup accommodate a subwoofer output?

The JVC head unit is only 20W/channel. That's not nearly enough... and you'll need >100W to drive the JL Stealthbox. So I'd say you definitely need an amp. Check out Alpine's PDX-5, it's got four 75W channels and one 300W channel, it's small enough to fit in the package tray behind the back seat, and it's got built-in crossovers and level controls.
I did a similar install (but with a PDX-4.150, the PDX-5 wasn't out yet).
