I know my system is set up wrong, because I turned it up real high and it gets very distorted when I know it shouldn't.

Most headunits internals(amps and preouts) clip above 75% volume. This is just a safty precaution for you speakers and subs. Yes it will cause damage to your speakers/amps if they are sent a clipped signal. Please read this for an explanation. http://www.bcae1.com/2ltlpwr.htm

I have an Extra cab truck (1997) with the third door option. I can only fit 4x6 speakers in my trucks factory openings. What should I do for my rear fill? Any opinions?
I personally dont like rear fill. If your front stage is good enough you wont need it. Again check the link above for thoughts on rear fill.
