[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 6886969, member: 576029"] note that if the 6x9's are in the rear deck, and you have subs in the trunk - the subs are distorting your 6x9's. speaker performance is 90% installation. baffles are very important - as is an airtight seal between the front of the speaker and the back of the speaker. without it - you get phase interference. make sure the door speakers are properly sealed against both the metal door and the plastic door panel (factory grille). use weatherstripping foam (closed cell rubber) to create a seal (adjust thickness as necessary). improper gain settings will cause distortion. also, i think Rockford amps have audible distortion as-is. the only way the HPF would be an issue is if you have your bass level jacked up. those speakers should play full range without issues. move your fader to the front and see if the distortion remains (turning off rear 6x9's). note that you don't need rear speakers. they just add distortion, time arrivals, and take away from the sound stage.
