a better set of components in lieu of the 6x9's is a good choice.
you can't go wrong with the germaniums for a passive set in that price range. very flexible passive set, and those smooth cal25 tweets to boot.
for subs in your price range, if you're after sq, i would recommend either a pair of image dynamics idq12's, or a pair of dayton reference HO 12's:

and for amps to power it all, i don't think there's a better deal at the moment than the aura amp buyout at partsexpress:
