Default Which wires to tap for LOC?

Greetings Audio Gods,
I'm a total rookie with this electrical stuff but I'm a dyi guy and I like to learn so your help would be greatly appreciated. Oh and yes, I did search this forum and looked at a few dozen posts but couldn't find the answer

I have a 2015 xlt, I don't even know what stereo model it is other then an 8" screen with sync, and I have no subwoofer. I need a little bump so I built a box for under my rear seat for 2 8" shallow mount subs and got a Kenwood xr600-1 and Pac LP7-2 so I can get low level rcas into the amp. What wires do I tap into for this LOC? I believe I need to do it right after the receiver correct?


Thanks in advance!

right rear +brown with white stripe right rear - brown with blue stripe left rear +white with green stripe -brown with yellow stripe

I pulled the botom of the piller off on the driver side. Did my tapping right there. I usually just tie the left/right inputs of the LOC into the one side. Never made much of a difference for me.

Thank you so very much guys, You Rock!!! I didn't know if it mattered on which speakers got tapped into or location. I've never installed my own amp before as I've had a shop do it but I prefer to do everything I can myself now. I'm going to give this a go tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks for the assist!
