Which 2 factory speakers can I tap into at the factory HK amp (in trunk) to get a full range signal to my Audiocontrol lc2i?

Chances are there is not a full range output on any channel of the amplifier. But just to make sure, as asked above, what model is the Kia?

It's a 2016 Optima SX Turbo. I beleive it shares this system with the SXL which has top tier options but an old man interior I couldn't get past😄

There is not a full range channel on that vehicle. As far as I can see it is a Tri-amplified system.

should be able to do the rear door speakes.... LR door black- pin 26 and white+ pin 13 RR white- pin 25 brown+ pin 12. I wouldn't use fronts since those are mid range or the surround speaker

I found a photo of the speaker descriptions, and am wondering if I can capture the whole bandwidth with a 4ch Dsp input, or if I need six channels of input?
