You have no other outputs from your HU or you just don't wanna run another RCA?
Well, you can either get an amp that has hi-level speaker inputs built in. You would just take the speaker wire going to your 6x9s, plug it into the amp, and then wire the speaker outputs of the amp to your 6x9s of course.
You can also get a LOC, a line output converter, this would broaden your amplifier choice. David Navone has some high quality ones, lots of good reviews on them. You would need the NE-7V. What it does is convert the speaker outputs from your HU to low-level RCA outputs.

The fronts I know are rockford fosgate, the $80 pair, not sure for the 6x9s, but I'm probably going to get a new pair, forgot whay they are, I think Alpines, 3 way, and they can take 300 watts each.

I'd say even higher then that.....maybe 600hz

I'm not sure what "rockford fosgate, the $80 pair" is.
I can only find these:
http://www.cardomain.com/item/ROCP132C
Which can't handle much of anything except for the HU power...stock replacements is all they are really.

Heh, that will basically make them things oversized tweeters
But, even with head-unit power the 3.5's are gonna need some bass blockers.

Yep that's whats in it.
They sound very clear and pretty good with just the HU. Should I just run an amp to the 6x9s and leave the front stock?

We took a 800 watt mono block subwoofer amp to my old ones, they didn't last long.
Grave, Keep the fronts on headunit power, add some bass blockers, and find a 2 channel amplifier for the 6x9's.
