how can i make hte bass lower in my 6x9s without lowering the bass on the subs? isnt there somethin like a passive crossover taht wil do this?

Many H/Us have a user-definable HPF (High Pass Frequency) that defines how low the signal it feeds to the main speakers will go - which acts just like the passive crossover you're talking about.

Logically speaking, yes you could use a passive crossover to do this, but I haven't seen any inexpensive standalone crossovers for sale, myself.

Personally, I would look around your H/U and see if it has any sort of HPF feature, and maybe look into replacing that before going with some crossover or anything like that.

no my head unit doesnt have this, they sell passive crossovers at circuit city for 10$ though. are those the ones i need?

As far as I know, yup, it will.....though, I don't really know what frequency you'd want the crossover to be hitting.

which ones do i buy and how do i install them. i dont want bass in my 6x9s.

I heard that a 100Hz Bass Blocker would eliminate the bass from ur 6x9, next they are installed near the 6x9 on the positive speaker wire they look like this:

it's alllll a matter of preference and such; how much you want to use. The ones at Circuit City (on their website at least) are exactly what you need. I wouldn't call 100hz eliminating the bass, myself....I'd check what the crossover on your sub is and come within maybe 20hz of that frequency (between 0 and 20hz lower, not higher, you don't want to lose valuable sound...)
