The Boss's 1000W is pushing to get 60x4 RMS, and that would be at a larger amount of distortion than the Jaycar amp.
I wouldnt use a Boss amp if someone paid me too.

Damn straight. The "BOSS AUDIO" is what i like to call a 'sick-bro-only' amplifier, which rates its power in "leb-watts". Lucky to pull 60Wrms is correct... at 14.4V it has been rated at 64Wrms.

that 4x100 RMS jaycar would be more like 4x75 WRMS at a decent distortion level

INCORRECT! In the same review which rated the BOSS AUDIO amp, the Jaycar was rated at 4 x 135Wrms @ 13.5V, and 2 x 340Wrms @13.5V. This was at an acceptable distortion level too.
$440ish retail. Buy two and get a discount. And versus the Axis amp.. it is far superior.
Also... you questioned whether the Jaycar amp would be "too powerful" for your 6x9's. There is really no such thing.... if you read any decent audio article by any real authority you will know that an amp rated above a speakers input limits is better than one below its rated input limit.
Why is this? Clipping. An underrated amp will clip the outputs to raw DC voltage when pushed too hard and destroy your speaker VERY QUICKLY.
Using an amplifier rated above the speaker's input limit is ok... since you just reduce the gain on the amplifier (should be done anyway to tune properly) and the amp will never reach its clipping limit.
And yes, you can run the amp in "tri-mode".. where one pair of outputs is bridged to your woofer, and the otehr pair left for your 6x9's.
NOTE: i work at jaycar, and have worked in car audio for some time.
