No. You are going to need a crossover for those tweeters. You can either get a component set, which will include the woofer / tweeter / crossover or you can just buy a crossover by itself.

Using the crossover will allow only the correct frequencies to be sent to the tweeter.

Shameless plug. I have a brand new set of 6.5" eDi6000s for sale. PM me if interested h:

what if i have upgrade speakers in the front doors with tweeters stuck on the woofer (2-way speakers/non components). can i still use crossovers to send the correct frequencies to my new tweeters?? and will anything happen to tweeters that are on my 2-way speakers on my front doors if i do this?? cause wont the crossovers send the high frequencies to my new tweeters and the low to my 2-way speakers?? so wont it effect the tweeters on there?? someone clear me up..thanks

Your coaxials already have crossovers on them. They look like really small batteries. I am not sure how you can power an additional set of tweeters. :thinking:
