Door Speakers Distortion

I have a 1998 GS400 with the Nakimichi sound system. The previous owner installed an aftermarket headunit but left everything else stock. Since I bought it, I installed 200w 6.5 Pioneer door speakers both front and rear, and they get distorted at high volumes. Could it be because of the stock amp? I’m not sure how much it could output. I’m also running an aftermarket sub + amp as well.

The output level on the radio may be too high for the Lexus amp. See if there are any level controls on the radio to match the output of the radio to the input level of the amp.

If you keep playing it loud and your amp clips, you will blow out your speakers.
If you want to bypass the Lexus amp Crutchfield will have kits for you.
