I wouldn't do it but hook the positive and negitive wires up to them just let the subs man.

Even at the amps lowest wattage you will probably overpower the 6x9's, unless its a 4 channel amp or something.

Are you running RCA's to the amp from a sub preout? If so, you're only going to get the lows through the 6x9, it'll sound like azz, and more than likely blow them. Just save a little loot and get some new subs.
Crutchfield has 2 Rockford 12" Punch Stage 1 for $120 if money is a factor.
For a little more, 2 Alpine Type E for $150.
