Okay, I think the reason your rears distort is because you are sending them bass tones and are turning it up too loud. Most car audio systems are set up as front stage only, and rear is all bass. So, if I were you, just remove the 6x9's, I did it in my car and was a lot happier with the sound. I am not familiar with that HU, but with my Panasonic there is a LPF and HPF, so you can filter out bass tones from the in-cabin speakers, if not you could get some cheap bass blockers at Best Buy or something... I would remove them though.

As for the amp setting, for the subs, you would set it to LPF and set the dial to around 60-70Hz, within this margin you will be fine.

Good luck with the new car man.
