JL Audio XD600/1v2 Installation question

I will be installing this JL Audio XD600/1v2 aftermarket amplifier into my 2015 GLK350 w/o Harman Kardon and am wondering if anyone knows how to connect the RCA 2-channel speaker output converters directly to the factory receiver wiring harness correctly without an Line output converter to my amp. (Amp has an internal amp that does not require an LOC to be used)

Hopefully you understand the question I am asking and am having trouble finding anything on the internet with this information.

Tried crutchfield and they do not have the vehicle specific information for installation and the amp manual is not specific enough for me to find the answer.
All other youtube about amp installation shows an LOC but for this model amplifier I know its not necessary. I just want to make sure its wired correctly.

I don’t think you have low level output, my 2013 I put in an Audison 8.9 Bit , it has built in line level input, eventually I went all digital signal . I don’t know what amp you have but you need signal processing to get the most of any amp, look at an Audison 8.9 Bit , it’s all in one unit.

Thanks for the reply!

I have a JL Audio XD600/1v2 amplifier I am installing. I went to crutchfield.com for advice and they said it is entirely possible to install and connect speaker outputs to my speaker inputs on my amplifier without a Line Output Converter. It does have an automatic low/high sensing with RCA Speaker Level Input x2 and two RCA Preamp Ouputs x2. I just did not know how to connect the wiring from my factory stereo harness to my two RCA inputs on my amplifier.

If you have any more useful information please let me know.
