Help with distortion

Could you please listen to this metallica sound after 20 seconds and tell me what is causing the distortion.

Very hard to tell anything out of place in that recording due to quality of it. Distortion can be caused by many things. Can you give a run down of your setup?

I think it's to much power, or a clipping signal from HU at high volume. Those speakers won't last long playing like that. Maybe time to invest in an amplifier, or a component set of speakers.

Power is power bro. 22W RMS from the HU is more than the factory for sure.

Just an update. I ripped all the bose crap out. Ran new wires. Put 6.5 infinity referance in the doors and sound ordnance b-8ptd behind the waterfall. Now the system sounds awesome!
