Mixing Speaker Impedances

I hope this question is not as dumb as it sounds to me, the questioner. What are the ramifications of mixing different driver impedance in a multi-way system? More specifically, can one add an 8 Ohm woofer and/or super tweeter to a 16 Ohm full/wide-range driver to extend the frequency range? If so, would one simply plug in the respective impedance into a crossover calculator (to get started in the right ballpark), or would other adjustments be required? I have only designed/built single-driver speakers before, so I apologize for the rudimentary question, and thank you all in advance for tolerant answers.
