That configuration in your pic should work for the rear.

Not sure what to tell ya bud. With the settings that high they should play without distorting. Maybe give their tech line a call and see what they say.

Are you certain polarity is correct on the speakers? With custom harnesses anything is possible.

That actually was the first thing I checked…

Makes no sense to me why they'd tell you to run the front 6.5's on full pass and the rear 6.5's and 6x9's at 120hz.
May be time to shift your loyalty to another brand. Kicker ain't what it was 30yrs ago.

Switched the input level from low to high… no more distortion but less volume too had to reset the gains a lot higher before they started to fart… I am considering switching out all 6 of the 6.5s as they’re apparently only rated at 60 watts @ 2ohm

I'm still not sure this will perform very well at highway speeds. You need a minimum of 125 watts per speaker to push through the wind noise.
