Default Bass Clipping w/ OEM Head Unit (2015 Sync Touch)

I installed an aftermarket amp with a shallow mount JL in a custom box under the seat. I followed the guide in this forum for tapping the speaker wires in the B pillar and it all came out great. However, I have noticed that there is clipping on those rear channels, especially in the bass frequencies, as you turn up the volume. Anyone else notice this and or solve this with a factory Sync headunit?

After I added a sub amp I set my HU to flat in the bass settings. That helped keep the bass out. The new sub handled it all.

The audio from the factory system is horribly processed. This is why I ripped out MyFord Trash as soon as they released a dash kit that allowed me to. I cannot begin to tell you how much better it sounds. Same amp and speakers, night and day sound difference.

I know it's not what you want to hear. Are you using and Audiocontrol LC6i to convert from speaker level to pre-out? This will help some, and it allows you to re-add the bass that gets cut out at higher volume by the factory system.
