I have the 2-channel version of that Alpine, maybe not technically but it looks basically the same. It's a great amp but I can't deal with class D sound, I was running my sub off the Alpine as soon as I switched to a class A/B Hertz amp my bass quality improved dramatically. Not louder but more nuance, more musical.
LC7i will do what you want but I don't have any experience with it. Seems a bit expensive considering it has no built in DSP or at least not one you can control. But audio quality is king so hopefully it is great here.
If I had your car ideally I'd try to find a unit with software controlled DSP with high level input and one that has time alignment.

Can you enlighten me on DSP?
With the three amps, wouldn't I have decent control with built-in crossovers?
Would DSP be needed?
What would a DSP be able to provide that would make it certainly worth it.
I'm a noob when it comes to the advanced car audio.

DSP box will give you fine control of each input, think advanced equalizer. Time alignment (most DSPs have this) is very nice it adjusts the sound stage to your exact seating position this makes a big difference in a car since you are sitting a box not exactly ideal for sound.
Crossover feature of your amp is primitive compared to DSP control. Here's one such device

I would never pay $1700 for a class D amp.

FYI - I will answer my own question. Ended up using 300 hz bass blocker speakers fit in with just a slight difference used oversized washer on one side. Also used Metra 72-8109 to make it completely plug and play. Hope it helps someone.

Follow up.
Ok so I found correct plug-in from Audio Shop. Polarity was correct. It was explained that 2022 es300h ML was different from previous years. I installed two dash side speakers (Kickers), and two 6x9 Kickers CSC69S. 3-way Has better sound. Mid priced, and now it is very close in sound to a 2005 LS430 ML I had. Worth it! I'm ready to sell removed speakers to someone for an upgrade to base sound.
UPDATE
Now I am going to add 2 31/2" speakers to back doors . Only 4 months and I want more. SUCKS to have to do this to try and equal a 2005 LS430 ML. Amp should handle it. This will leave stock system alone and unharmed,I hope!
