The easiest way would be to use an instrument cable to connect the Monitor Out on the Kemper (NOT the speaker out if you have a powered unit) to the 1/4" (guitar) input on the Focusrite. Set the switch on the Focusrite to "Inst". Note that you won't be able to run a stereo signal into the Scarlett Solo, as it doesn't have enough inputs.

Yep this^
Guitar > KPA > Monitor Out > Solo input > USB > Mac =

Headphones into the Scarlett sound good? Take a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DE3zZ-6RRBI
I don't use Mac or Logic but have the Scarlett 18i20. This should get you in the right direction. -
Your levels are set too low somewhere in the chain. Check the signal indicator light on the focusrite to see if it is lighting up green when you play through the Kemper. If it is, then the issue is on the computer side. If not, check the monitor output level on the Kemper to make sure it's not set really low.

Check your Monitor Output Volume on the KPA
Output button then page 2/18 should show all your output volume settings. -
its at -73. though im not sure i should mess with that because i use my kemper as my live amp. or would i have to?
Well, if you don't turn it up you're not going to hear anything. You can always turn it back down when not connected to your interface. -
Don't quote me for the Solo but this won't hurt anything. Turn up your Monitor Output to -15.0dB which is good output for live also. Then adjust the gain on your Solo until it turns red while playing and back it off a bit into the green. Adjust your headphone volume with the Monitor on Solo, you should be rockin by now.

Be sure to think about what you want linked to the master volume knob on the front of the kemper as well. All "linked" outputs are adjusted by this, in relation to how the individual volumes are set in the "master/output" submenu.
