Center channel Speaker

GrUUmpyPops

Firstly; I have done a search and I haven’t found an answer that I need for my inquiry.

I have a two door VW Amarok Ute/pick up/truck/bakkie etc and I have built a panel and replaced my dash centre tray and housed a mid range and tweeter to be used as a centre channel speaker arrangement.
My door speakers and the centre channel are all powered via an amp and RCA’s I also have an amp powered sub woofer

I would like to know before wiring the RCAS in a particular way and the speakers in my doors; will the centre channel work in a 3.1 configuration?
This way I can hook up the front left and right into an amp and bridge for the door speakers and a separate amp for the centre speaker
Or do I need to run the system as 4.1? Which would require running the front left channel as front the front right channel as rear and then the Centre channel.

Any help or advice would be appreciated

You did not upload a screenshot of the system information.
The DUDU7 model features a dedicated RCA output port for center channel audio.
For other models lacking a center channel interface, I'm not familiar with how to adapt a center channel output. This requires consultation with an audio specialist for a proper solution.

Sorry, I should have mentioned what my head unit is.
But it is the top model.
12+512g with 360° cameras
all of my speakers including subwoofer will run through the RCA's to external amplifiers
Currently the amplifier is a 4 channel bridged to run 2 channels for the front speakers which are in the doors and A pillar, with the center speaker running through its own 2 channel amplifier bridged to run the center channel speakers via a crossover; and the subwoofer running through its own amplifier.

I am yet to wire in the RCA's. As mentioned I would like the information about running the DTS to get the center channel functioning properly. I hope all of that makes sense.

I should remind you; Do I need to "trick" the head unit into thinking there are 4 channels by using the left front channels as FRONT and right front channels as REAR?
Or can simply run the front channels as left and right (as my desired preference) and have 3.1
Center channel should be recognized without any modifications as the subwoofer should.

GrUUmpyPops as far as I could see from the sound settings, L-C-R-S would be output when 3.1 chosen. No need to connect rear at all in this configuration. However, you may be very disappointed in that DTS processing, in my opinion it ruins completely the sound.

Sorry, I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve.
I'm guessing you only connected the RCA inputs for the front left, front right, center, and subwoofer—just these four channels? The rear left and rear right outputs aren't wired, correct?
If that's the case, it's fine, but you're missing the rear soundstage.
