it does matter.
do they come with mids as a set or just tweeters? do they come with crossovers? are you amping them?
these will need to be answered before anyone can accurately answer your question.

you are best off to get a set of full components. they will come with mids and crossovers to get the proper sound. then you can use the signal going to your front speakers and the crossovers will do all of the work.

What do you currently have in the car? For example, adding tweeters to the factory Monsoon system is fairly easy because the signal is already filtered at the door speakers. Adding them to an aftermarket system can be just as easy depending on how it's set up and what types of speakers you are already using.
There are other questions you should think about. For example, there are different kinds and materials for tweeters. Each has its own advantage and disadvantages as well as differences in sound (e.g. silk dome tweeters sound softer and smoother whereas metal dome tweeters sound brighter and can reproduce higher frequencies better but they sometimes sound harsh).

If you know nothing about them, how do you know you need them? Never mind...just kidding.

If you are adding only tweeters to your existing setup...why? are your current tweeters blown? are you looking for brighter/crisper highs? it wont sound too good with factory mids/tweeters plus an extra set of tweeters.

i currently have the monsoon system. I've upgraded my speakers behind the seats to the bazooka 6.5 dual voice coil subs. i believe my front driver speakers blown. I dnot hear tweeters if i have them so i assume there blown. When i got the car 4 speakers in it were blown. still trying to get everything straightened out. Thanks for the help.
