Default replacing component speakers

I have a set of infinity reference 6.5 inch component speakers in my DC2. Unfortunately after 4 years of service my passenger side speaker blew out. Is there any I can just buy that set of speakers because if I buy another component set I would not need the crossovers or the tweeters. What if I replace it with a infinity two way speaker I have laying around( I used to run rears but I took them out)? Since it has a crossover you wont hear anything from the tweeter connected to the 2 way speaker right?

Please help I am a broke car audio newb.

Thats what I was thinking but I am not an audio expert so I figured I would ask you guys. So cut the wires that run to the mids on the two way speakers and install them in my front door? Sounds good. What do people normally do when one of their component speakers blow out? They have to buy an entire new set( of tweeters and mids) and only use one pair of speakers? What a waste they should sell the mids seperately.
