Question about my wiring

I just recently installed a new kenwood KDC-MP438U HU and kenwood KFC-1682ie 6-1/2" in the doors and kenwood KFC-6972ie 6x9" in the rear hatch.

My question is when I try to turn my HU up loud, to about level 30 volume the speakers get really distorted and it sounds really bad. Do you think that there is something wrong with my wiring or could I just need a new amp. Thanks

i dont think the speakers could be blown they are fairly new and sound fine at lower volumes. I read through the stickys and couldn't get the answer i was looking for, what would take the least money and time to be able to get my system to not distort at high volume

do yourself a favor and wire your front speakers directly to your head unit or to a amp.
