Looking to replace front door and dash speakers

I have a 2005 9-5 Arc wagon, with the 8 speaker Prestige stereo. I'm considering replacing the left and right dash corner and front door speakers.
I understand that the signal to the front door and dash speakers is split so that the bass goes to the front door speaker and the midrange/treble goes to the dash speakers. (I could be wrong about this.) There don't seem to be any good aftermarket options for the dash speaker. The 3-1/2" midrange speakers that would fit really are just midrange, without any treble range above 10,000 Hz or so.
Another option that seems available would be to get a 6-1/2 component speaker, with the 6-1/2 speaker going into the front door, and the tweeter in the dash. But given that the dash speaker is supposed to handle midrange and treble, I don't know if putting a tweeter there will work.
One suggestion that I was given was to get a 6-1/2 component system, install the woofer in the door panel, run a wire from the woofer to the component system crossover, and then run the wire from the crossover to the dash where the tweeter will be installed. The wire that used to go from the stereo to the dash speaker would be disconnected. I'm not sure that this is the best approach.
Any experience from anyone who replaced the front door and dash speakers would be welcome. Thanks!
