Problems. The tweeters have built-in (sort of) crossovers.

I originally started out on a similar path to what you're describing and thankfully, I bit the bullet and ran new wires and full speaker replacement. Never regretted the decision. Not to mention it's another one of those "Hey! I did this" moments.

Run new wire, you will be happy you did. If you dont with in a month you will be. (work smarter not harder)

For one the sound will be weird having a quality tweeter down in the door and a stock tweeter up in the dash. Second different ohm ratings this can damage your head unit in the long run. I highly recommend disconnecting them and let your new tweeter in the coaxial do the work. If you do not like the sound time to get a set of components.
