It is possible to do some strange things with car stereo and still have it work, but you never know for how long or how well it will work.

So components with their crossovers are designed to run on single channel is what I'm gathering?
Yep.

The Kenwood units DO have a high pass built in for the speaker level outputs. What if...........I utilized the headunit high pass for both mids and tweeters then added a passive crossover (set even higher) in the line for the tweeters?
If you have the tweeters and mids on separate channels (i.e. tweets on front, mids on rear) you should be able to set them independently in the head unit, eliminating the need for a separate crossover.

If you buy a component set or tweets that come with crossovers there would be no need for a crossover in the head unit at all because the passive crossover that comes with the speakers will take care of it.
