Use Rear RCAs or LOC for highs amp?

So after I locked out my factory radio I bought a cheap aftermarket radio on craigslist so I could install it before my trip . Unfortunately I wasn't paying attention and there is only one RCA output that is for the sub/rear speakers .

I'm using an amp to power ID 6.5s w crossovers. Should I use RCAs or use LOC? I also see everyone installing LOCs into rear speakers. Wouldn't this be the same as a rear RCA? Can I use LOC in front speakers? I'm not use to this family life budget installs lol. I haven't touched this stuff in years. Hello to all of the old schoolers!

I'd use the loc on the front speaker leads from the hi and then run rcas to the amp. There should be plenty of room behind the glove box to put the loc.

Thanks junior! That was my thought but I didn't want to screw anything up. I use to be an all bass guy, trying to wing this install without screwing anything up. I did get everything deadened though!

Why not run RCA splitters and just set the filters on the amp?
