Can I keep Bose subs with a new head unit?
I just purchased a 2007 SE LOADED last week (16,800 miles). I currently have a Kenwood Excelon KDC-X692 and a Kenwood KAC 8402 (60w x 4 @4ohms) sitting in the spare bedroom. I want to install them into my Maxima. I am going to order a set of components for the front doors (I have POLK MOMO's in my 07 Altima, and they pound pretty good), and I will replace the co-axials in the rear doors. I'm thinking Infiniti's since they run at 2ohms and I can pull more power out of my amp (90W @ 2 ohms). I also want to run the factory subs for the time being.
I know I'll need the Metra installation kit

I'm guessing I'll need the PAC SWI-X to retain steering controls?

I'm also guessing I'll need the Axxess NIRD-01 to retain the bluetooth and the factory display screen?

How will I hook the factory Bose amp to the head unit to retain the BOSE subs? I will eventually replace them, but for now I'd like to keep them until I have a little more money to spend.
Am I missing anything here?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

PAc swi-jack for direct controls, not the infrared crap.
Just leave the bose amp in, connect the factory turn on wire and high level outs from the headunit to the harness.
Keep the gain on the rear speakers VERY low, your focus should be the front stage.
