Default speakers sound like crap after installing new battery?

I just put in a new Bosch battery in and now whenever there is music with bass, all the speakers sound really distorted. It's not just the rear woofer, it's all of them. At first even the auto up/down window feature wouldn't even work until about an hour of driving. Any ideas why this is happening?

The windows is easy, they "forget" when starved of power. To get them working again you just hold the button for a few seconds after lowering the window fully and then close it again and hold the button up for a few seconds. One touch should be back then.

Dont know about your woofers though, hopefully you didn't snag a wire while you were under the hood.

Is everything stock for the radio, speakers, ect., or what set up are you running? Sounds like you might have knocked your settings off and you just need to readjust. Other than that, no ideas, except and excuse to get a whole new system...

Yeah everything is stock. I'm thinking it's actually the radio and not the speakers. I've heard blown speakers plenty of times and this actually sounds different. When there's bass, it makes a real nasty static sound. I think it shorted out a little when I hooked up the battery.
