If you are using 2-way speakers they already have a tweeter, yes?  So you want to add additional tweeters?  No, you cannot add them to the JBL crossovers.  They will each need their own crossover.

Ya they have tweeters but I am just replacing my stock tweets that are by the mirrors on my Mazda 6. But since all my channels are being used for the jbls should I buy a 3 way crossover or just wire them to my head until?

Did the new tweeters come with a crossover?  Assuming they did, wire in parallel with the front mains.  You will also likely need to add an L-pad or some sort of attenuation to blend them with the front mains since they will likely be way too loud that close to your head.
