Audio Systems/Factory Car Sterio

Question
Hello I have a really important question about my 1995 cadillac sts. It has a delco (I think maybey bose too?) Factory system in it (all the seperate amps and wires n stuff) and It works ok and everything but I REALLY want to install a aftermarket sterio system. I would like to be able to put some subs an amp and cd deck in But I heard its almost impossible to try and use anything bose has in the car to have a good aftermarket system and to just start from scratch down to wiring everything back through. I just spent 150$ on a kenwood cd deck and looked EVERYWHERE for advice to hook it up to all the bose stuff and nothing.  What do you suggest? I don't know much about re wiring or even taking the bose stuff out so I'm stuck! is it possible to use the bose speakers and amps already in the car and hook up an aftermarket cd deck with an amp and subs too or should I just save myself the hassle and take the entire mess of wires amps and speakers out n start over!?! Please help and thank you if u can oh and if u think i should take out the bose amps and wires could I still use the door speakers and 6x9's on my kenwood deck?

Answer
install the radio using this device and you will keep the bose system , amplifiers and speakers
