You answered your own question. Underpowering speakers will cause clipping much faster than overpowering them. Your speakers need 110 watts of RMS power to sound the way they were designed. Your headunit delivers 18 watts of RMS power. The wrong impedence speakers + very little power = recipe for disaster. Get yourself an amp to power those guys. Oh and make sure the "Loudness" feature ( if your headunit is equipped ) is turned off.
