I'm putting together a complete system.

They also have those on sonic. This amp should be pretty decent for the money, though get the extra warranty:

Precision Power PPI BA1600.4 1600W Black Ice 4 Channel Car Amp

4 channel wont cost more than 200. You can get by with a lot less too.
You can use these to protect the 6x9s

Yeah, but I don't think my electrical system can handle another amp. That's where I'm getting the larger figure from.

If you didnt cap them off/seal them off from the trunk air space/environment,more than likely the spl from the sub has damaged your 6x9 due to the air/pressure created.That is now a great possibility that the 6x9 is trashed.

Just something else lol. Yeah, they aren't sealed off from the trunk.

Ordered these. Hopefully the speakers aren't destroyed. What did I do by pushing on the front of the speaker that made them sound normal?

Could be a lot of reasons. You could have aligned the tinsel leads properly. You could have popped the coils back in place. You could have cleared some debris that was blocking the path of travel in the coil gap. etc....

I turned the bass down. Hopefully the speaker survives.
