Is it possible to run tweets off headunit power? Not components just tweets maybe with some sort of bass blocker on them

I'm just trying to figure out if I just ran 4 mids it would sound wierd without some tweets. And I don't have enough room or money for a small amp for them, so I just thought I might be able to run them off headunit power.

Before I put in this order would these bass blockers work for the tweets?
Also according to amazon my head unit puts out 45x4 rms thats not right is it?
headunit: sony xav-7w

When I have all the gains set right on my amps I don't plan on turning my headunit up over 3/4.
I feel like a complete beginner again since I'm going for a diffrent style of music listening.

I have a crunch100.4 that has full xover for the mids but I will still have my rev components running on two of the channels then my 6.5s running on the other two, and just wanted to get some tweets and thought of running them off the headunit.
