I recently took a bose stereo system except for the deck out of a 2004 chevy suburban it includes the bose amp that was under the console 2 tweeters, 2 front speakers, and 4 rear speakers now what i want to do is wire all this into my dads van that has an aftermarket kenwood deck. i know that i need to match the colors of each speaker to the amp and i need to find out what is power,acc,and ground but what other wires will i need to hook up, is this possible??

possible but not easy in any sense of the word, and really pretty pointless.  Those bose systems really arent exactly great, may not be terrible for a factory setup, but just overall wouldnt be worth your time to do.

I wouldn't bother......
1) Many Bose systems are vehicle specific as far as EQ, placement, etc.
2) making it work with the Kenwood deck will be a PITA, especially if the OEM deck that was on the BOSE system was Class2
3) It's BOSE.... why????
4) Did you get the factory sub?
5) An aftermarket solution will be far more reliable in the long run.
6) It's still a BOSE system.....
In the long run.... the BOSE crap was far happier in the Suburban. It should stay there.

The bose amp really isnt meant to work with any other speakers, they are typically low power and work with weird impendances

Not to mention the bose amp uses the class II datbus to turn on and the signal from deck to amp is non standard as well.
