Give CrutchField a call, they will tell you exactly what you can and can't do to your BOSE system. They are very helpful... also, once you buy from them they are completely willing to walk you through each step of the install. I was very impressed as a first time car audio buyer.
By the way, I do remember Crutchfield mentioning an adapter of some sort, I'd hit them up on that.

I took the stock cd player to my shop so I could fix it. I was able to fix half of it, and now something else is wrong. Do you have any tips to make the aftermarket hu sound better with the stock system? Any help would be grately appreciated. Thanks.

And another thing, since it is a signal that is sent to the amplifiers, I can splice them into a paralell instead of giving all the wires male ends of RCA cables. From what I remember from school, the signal will not be distorted or disturbed doing this; I'm not too sure though.
