Went Ahead and Tried the Rear Deck Method
After confirming that my DSP amp was not putting out a signal to the sub (but it WAS sending out the 6v turn-on signal), I spent an hour yesterday installing my Audiocontrol LC2. I tapped into both rear deck speakers. I got to the leads from underneath, in the trunk. Then I sent those four wires to the input plug on the LC2. I ignored the remote in and out connections on the LC2 as I am still having the DSP amp send the 6v back to the subwoofer amp. However, I did cut the signal leads from the front for the subwoofer signal. Now I have the amp out leads from the LC2 going to the OEM subwoofer amp. I had to convert an RCA output to two wires to connect those to the sub amp harness - where I cut out the leads coming from the front.
Result - I do hear bass coming out of the OEM sub now. It is readily adjusted for sound level using the LC2. Now I can set the bass audio control slider to flat on the screen up front and just turn up the LC2 to get my low bass. Because the LC2 offers such a good capability in tuning the sound, I recommend this even for those with a factory 401A (2015-2017) or Shaker Pro option (2018) in their cars.
