I would agree with your above statement except for the distortion part. That is not what blows speakers, power(watts) is what blows speakers, now generally speaking when you are at the distortion point you would think that would blow your speakers but it is actually the clipping excess amount of power, which causes the distortion. The distortion by itself will not blow your speakers. The above information that I just gave you is from a JL Audio cleansweep training tech from JL training which I attended two years ago. Whether he is right or wrong, that is just what I have been told. I still would say the cleansweep is the way to go.
Clipping isn't the only thing that causes distortion. The amplification of a signal with cheap components, creates a higher distortion rate. Cheap amps running at the same power as a quality amp, will blow a speaker before quality amp. Distortion isn't just something that's heard.

Damn, just read some info on aftermarket head units with the stock amp, my stereo knowledge ftl.
If the guys I talked to at my local shop are correct, and the head unit is causing all the problems, the Cleansweep should be the easiest/cheapest solution. I didn't realize the factory amp doesn't play nice with aftermarket head units, else I would have probably went with the Cleansweep. Sounds like I'll end up buying an aftermarket amp. My stereo is going to sound nice, albeit at a higher cost than originally intended. *wallet open, fly comes out*
Thanks for the advice guys, hopefully this thread can help other people looking to fix the factory stereo problems.
