As the title says, I have decided to go active in my car with a 3 way setup, and I wanna do it right the first time as best as I can. With the budget given above I need a proven combo of speakers and amps that would help me get the best possible bang for buck.

Suggestions needed here pls. I should mention that polks and mb quarts are available here relatively easily

Get a LRX multichannel from Audison and Focal 3way speaker setup - price both ordering the parts and buying a whole kit.. see what is cheaper.. you can always sell off the passives later.

Lots of places in AB to get the gear..

Problem is, I need a place to buy it online and get it shipped to Pakistan, or need some way to buy second hand units and sent here...can you point me in the right direction for those? thanks

What head unit / receiver / source are you using?

Or is that part of the budget as well?

You will need a lot of control with a 3-way front stage. I would consider the 701 from Alpine. It has all the control you will need.
For speakers, I always suggest going the DIY way.

Is your budget for the enitre system, just the speakers or ?

... and by "3-way active" do you mean "3-way front stage" or "2-way front stage plus sub"?

To answer the questions:

1. The car is a toyota corolla
2. By 3-way I mean 2 way front stage and a sub
3. $2000 is for the amps and sub only, not including the hu
