I was trying to avoid using an amp to power the tweeters and maybe replace the tweeters in the dash or run them off of the door speakers?

you can do either??just make sure + to+/- to -,and do use the xover they come with,,if your door speakers are amped,and normally @4ohm,by adding the tweeter will bring it to a 2ohm load,in which if just the two on that one ch,and both are 4ohm speakers,then that amp should drop to 2ohms on that ch,in which majority of the amps are stable/fine at,just make your adjustments as needed/gains to your liking

That will do nothing to make your mids/highs keep up with your sub stage.
