Put in your new door speakers, listen to it with factory tweeters, If you decide it doesn't suit you, pop the grilles off, and unplug the tweeters. Problem solved.
You are correct they are wired in parallel for the base system, which is another reason I recommend running new speaker wire. I know he can easily use the factory wire but not if he does components.
