Hey Danny, the HU will not supply 50W to your speakers. It's more like 13-17W. I know you feel like you've been had but that's the truth. Thanks to the shotty marketing lies, most people think 50W not 15W.
Anyhow, the subs will overpower your stock speakers at high volume. The only way to fix that is to get 2nd 4 channel amp for your front and rear.

You will notice that around mid level or close to there, the sub will overpower the rest of the sounds. It happened to me, that is why I had to get 4 channel amp. Don't worry, it won't be a waste of money cause I'm not regretting. In fact, my front and rear speakers sound lot better at high volumes. No more distortion.
