does your head end run into an amp? Check for good power and ground to the amp. If thiat's OK then check for shorted speakers of speaker wires

I guarantee you have a bad connection somewhere, probably in the 12 volt line or ground.

Why is it only doing it above half of the full volume than? Why not at lower volumes? Think.

If anything its a bad HU/Speaker match and clipping is taking place.
