Soooo... Those speakers dont have tweeters in them? If you add tweeters to that wont it be a lil bright..

no just wire them in, the xover will take care of the rest it's all in the little electrolytic capacitor your amp will still see the same ohm load, or if you want it to sound real good just get some comps instead of a different amp and lose the co-ax's!

Why do you want just tweeters? And do you have components or coaxials up front?

The best solution is to buy a set of 6.5 Component speakers, instead of the tweeters, sell the kicker 6.5's, and get the amp, you will come out about the same total cost and have a better end result.

Ok, are they components or coaxials up front? Do you know the differences?

Alright then buy a set of components and a 4 channel amp. What's your budget for everything?

@mylows10 what can you do for him?

OP, also look through the classifieds sections.

keep the 2 way 6.5 dump the the 3 ways and 6x9s .use the 2 ways for rear fill and get some components .i can get you a good set for a decent price

I'm assuming the Kicker 6x9's you have are the DS693's. Which are rated at 70W RMS, so you'll be looking for around 70x4@4 Ohms, and a set of 6.5 Components also rated somwhere around 70-100W RMS.

I would try to get this amp:

The 50x4 rating was very common in amplifiers made during this time period, and many of them, including this one I believe are known to do 20-30 more than that.

Leaving you with 100$ or more depending on what you get it for

And with that get these speakers:

He's looking for a 4 channel on that budget as well. OP said around $220 for comps and 4 channel.
