Default Front or back speakers

I am installing a Kenwood KSC-SW10 self powered woofer in my 09 coupe. The install instructions say it can be installed either to the fron speakers or the rear speakers. Question for any of you guys that know something about audio. Which should I conect them too?

For the C6 you really can't use either and get the best results, but do NOT use the rear speakers. The rear speakers are high passed in both the Delco & Bose system so you will not get the very frequencies you need to drive your subwoofer. If you're not going to grab the RCA signal from the head unit (check the C6 Audio FAQ for info on this) then I guess you could grab signal from one of the door subs, at least you would have the right range.
