Yes not a pro but have worked on my motorcycle electrical circuit.
Will open up the trims and let you know sir.

From the diagram I can understand that the signal for centre speaker is spliced and given to the door speakers.

If centre speaker is working that means the head unit is giving signal correct?

that's correct. Keep in mind that because all left or right speakers are spliced from one wire problems in one speaker can cause other speakers to fail too.

I replaced OEM headunit with aftermarket android unit(ATOTO A6) and also use Kenwood amplifier so I cut these 2 wires and send it to Kenwood amplifier which I placed it on OEM AMP spot(which you can see on my previous post) and send it back to subwoofer.

In 4 channel amp I used same process, RCA output of my HU and send it Poineer amplifer and send it back to my HU and connect those wires to OEM connector (G248)

I am receiving 12v at all the fuses

But my amp is having a fuse rating of 80amp.

If I take 4 parallel connection from.the fuses and combine them and then put a inline fuse of 60amp for safety will it work?

Is it a good idea.?

bad idea fuses are safety components you can not use them in parallel. for 80A use 3 Gauge wire directly from + battery terminal also use a 100A fuse at the battery for safety.

If I remember correctly my amp was not that powefull so I tap into fuse on junction box no.2 but after a while I decided to buy OE amplifier and use the same power for that so I did not need to use power directly from battery but some folks said we can use car oe wiring harness beneath steering whell use this path to route cable but I couldn't convince myself to do that.

Thank you
I'll update with what I do finally 😃
I first tried to fit the amp under front seat but there are wires beneath which doesn't allow the amp to slide in🥲
