You have the Monsoon system hooked up, added the pheonix amp to run the subs (JL). You replaced the front 2 speakers with ones from Wal-Mart.
When you hooked up the front speakers, did you hook them up to the right set of wires? There are 4 there, 2 for the mid woofer and 2 for the tweeter.
Also to me sounds like you might have a short like stated above.
How do you know the headunit goes to 25, do you have an aftermarket one or still the Monsoon?

so you hooked the speaker output on the radio to the front speakers, and the front speakers are still hooked up to the Monsoon amp?
A diagram is a simple drawing of how your system is layed out.

ok....
You are running the tweeters off the HU and everything else off the Monsoon amp.
Sounds to me you might be over powering the Monsoon amp inputs and it is shutting down, going into protection mode.
