Need help wiring tweeters

I want to run fresh wire to my front stage. What I'm thinking is to run speaker wire direct from amp to tweeter. What has me stuck is that I think that if I do that, wouldn't I lose power to the mid woofer on the door? I have a 5.5 so here's a little diagram I drew up..

Need more than that. OEM amp? Aftermarket amp?

And what do you plan on using to power your (assuming) OEM woofers?

I have aftermarket subs and an aftermarket monoblock already installed. I also have the 4 channel installed and a set of coax in the rear and a set of comps in the front. My old aftermarket speakers couldn't handle too much power as they were meant to be just factory replacements. These Focal tweets have been wired but I just need to know the best way to go while running new speaker wire.

Edit: I've also thought about relocating the tweeter to the door. Would tapping the speaker wire from the tweet to the wires in the midbass be a sufficient method?

You've got my number. MUCH easier to have a 5 minute conversation than do this via post. Call me tonight.
