Interesting.. when I wired in my 300 watt sub tube it came with a gain controller/rca converter that I installed at the factory amp input end and ran rca cable to the tube. I had it dialed all the way up and had distortion from the factory system speakers. Reduced the gain at the controller/converter (sub amp has one too) and the distortion cleared.
Not saying it's your issue too, but sounds like the same scenario here

The POS wire taps were removed at final install... LOL
