easy enough to shoot a picture of the wiring diagram from the Bentley, Ill PM them if that works. The yellow RCA is a rear camera, see if its there?
True advice, the stock amplifier isn't much, it would be easier to find the wires to each speaker, take pre-amp to a nice new amp and power them that way.
FWIW, I changed all my speakers, have the rear speaker bar and 6.5 in the door for bass. everything works, including faders etc. with the installation kit I found on ebay and using the stock amp. A couple of different stereo options make this less straightforward, but I have the cd changer (disconnected) and I think a 6 x40 amp in the frunk. If you think it helps, I'll look up the option code.

UPDATE: I used my wire tracer and confirmed that the drivers door speaker wire does lead to the frunk and the drivers dash speaker does as well. However, none of those lead to the dash and connect up with the head unit. I would assume that there was an aftermarket amp in the frunk at one time that all the speakers plug into along with the big sub. But now that is gone, I assume like others have said is to buy a small basic amp and reconnect things that way and run sound out via RCA cables to the amp then to the speakers.

Sound about right?

Yes. Or you could extend the wires and run the speakers off of the deck. You would have to get the speaker lead plug for the deck though. Easiest way is just get a cheap 4 channel amp. Cheapest is source the harness plug for the deck and extend the speaker wires.
