Ok so my speaker system consists of 4 jbl 6x8 2 ways speaker which have a crossover. my amp is a jl jx360 4 channel.. I am adding 2 tweeters to the front doors. How would i wire the front speakers to work at either a 4 ohm or 2 ohm capacity. would it work? could i just plug the wires into the output for the tweets on the crossover? Thanks for the help

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.
