Well you need a processor to run active regardless, unless you want it to sound worse than running passive...but for 3 ways you need an 8ch DSP which makes prices jump, maybe start with active 2 way front and sub with the deh-80prs and if you find yourself wanting more then just add a Bit One to the mix
I just bought an Audison Bit Ten D, Audison LRX 5.1K, Hertz high energy 165 (3-way speakers) for the front, a hertz energy coaxial for the rear and a Sony XNVL770BT(double Din). 12" Alpine type R subwoofer
How do I go active?

your bit ten D cannot support an active 3 way front stage...as mentoned above you need an 8ch DSP, the Bit Ten is a 5ch DSP...You'd need the Bit One, or you could run your front midbass active, tweet and mid passive with no rears
