Sounds like loads of clipping!
If it was an analog amp, I would say it was being massively overdriven.
Since it is a digital amp, there presumably is a fault in the amp circuitry (unless you have blown the rear speakers - but then the distortion would be continuous). Maybe a cap in the switcher supplies, flaky at some temperatures ...

As before, since the fault is only in the rear, it cannot be a head unit problem. Get the amp replaced.
