I see no reason why it wouldn't work, I'm curious to see how the project turns out

I did n from my research any discussion about adding speakers wheater highs,mids n lows theres always an aftermarket amp n if not its never about adding tweeters by taping off the factory ones up front.

Isn't there a factory sound processor with the Bose setup? Wouldn't it mess with your highs?

you can do this but you will want to look into what resistors you will want to intall inline. These will work as a simple form of a xover.

the tweeters I'm buying come with a crossover inline already plus I'm tapping off the factory tweeters after the amp so the frequency should already be set. Correct me if I'm wrong plz

You can do it but I wouldn't recommend it.
Are you wanting the sound to be louder?
The factory set up already has a crossover. Adding another crossover may not get you the results you want.

You are also going to lower the final impedance.

not trying to get louder but theres no tweeters in the back n that's why I would like to add them, so can i just tap off the front tweeters with no issues? Or am I still missing something

You can tap into the front pretty easily.
Where are you planning on placing the new tweeters?
