TOTALLY kidding!
The bi-amp can be quite nice, I myself am a HUGE fan of it. If your passive crossovers have the capabilities, (indicated usually by two sets of inputs and two sets of outputs, with either an internal or external jumper) then by all means, give it a shot. I cannot say that you will gain very much in this case.
Benefits
1: Headroom
2: Output matching
3: Separation
Detriments
1: Expense
2: Potential overpowering with destructive consequences
Those are the big ones...
The tweeters can be much more finely tuned, with the full range of sensitivity of the amp's gain control, rather than a 0dB and a -3dB setting. If you like it really bright, you can even go to the other side... Actually INCREASING the output, relative to the mid/woofer's output.
Since you have the two amps, try the bridged mode, first... Those suggestions are much more suited to 99+% of all car stereo installations. If you're REALLY hell bent on bi-amping, purchase a good quality (i.e. NOT a $60 to $100.00 POS from BestBuy) electronic crossover, and bi-amp correctly.
