Default Adding sub to A6 Bose system

I want to add a real sub to a 2012 A6 with Bose 5.1 system using an AudioControl LC2i processor, but unsure of which signal to tap:
1. Bose processed subsignal, into L and R on the LC2i or
2. Bose front L/R signal (which I guess lacks the sub component), letting the processor create a sub signal, or
3. Tapping the signal between HU and Bose amp, risking a ground loop

Alt 1 would be easiest, but will it work? Other ideas?

On second thought, the HU to amp connection is probably a digital, optical one, ruling out option 3. I'll probably try opt 1 and see how it sounds.

Is there any update on this?

I'll be getting an A6 soon and will want to do the same.
