Default Audison Bit Ten in a 2014 F-150 with Sony and Nav

Hey guys, I'm going to be installing an Audison Bit Ten on Monday and I had a couple of questions. First, the Bit Ten has 4 channels of input so I was planning on using the FL and FR mid and tweeter. Does anyone know for certain if the Front Speakers/tweeters will give me a full range signal? Crutchfield says yes and I've seen several threads on other forums that say yes, but a few have said no. Looking for a definitive answer here.
Also, I've seen that a weird quirk of the Sony amp that comes with the upgraded Sony Sounds System can start acting funny if it doesn't sense the load of the speaker. Did anyone have to do anything special to get the Bit Ten to work? Or just wire it straight into the speaker outputs from the Sony Amp? Thanks!

The 2015 Sony gives full signal after summing front mids and highs, I am assuming 2014 should be the same.

Hmm, I know the 2015 and up are considered a new generation. There were a couple of changes to the audio system. You're probably right, I doubt they would change something like that. At least I won't have the fake engine noise issue to contend with!

In a previous thread some added resisters. Some didn't. I would try it without first.

I added resistors just to be safe, my system has been great since my install. It wasn't worth a blown amp if i needed it. I used the front tweeter and mids and i have a clean full range signal.

What Shelbie67 said on the tweeter/mid connection. Should work fine.
