Default Aftermarket Headunit & Speakers with Bose Sub

What would I have to wire from my headunit to the bose harness behind it to get the bose sub and its baby amp behind the drivers seat working? The other four speakers (LF, LR, RF, RR) are rewired directly to the headunit currently.

Headunit in a Kenwood KDC-BT362U and here is its wiring diagram:

I'm assuming I need to connect the amp power on. Where does the sub get its signal? from the rears?

I'm not sure what I need to split and connect to the harness behind the headunit.

Edit: Okay so I read that the amp is mono so I'll attempt splitting one of the rears to the harness amd hooking up the amp remote.

Wrong


The car is not adjustable like aftermarket stuff. You wire the car as is. Bass is adjusted with bass on the speakers. It is not separate like aftermarket stuff

I don't really understand, I ran wire independent of the bose harness for my doors and rears directly to the head unit and I'm not trying to run wire for the sub.

If the sub receives its signal from the speakers and is mono shouldn't splitting off just one of the speakers to its matching speaker wire on the bose harness work? That's what I was attempting to say in the last post but reading it now it sounds like gibberish.

Edit: Looks like the Metra 70-7551 should cover me without having to split since it will use rca amp preouts for the rears.

Should have the harness by Friday so I'll post back here if it works since it seems there are a few people out there that have tried it but never posted results.

Worked perfectly only using the single harness with amp and rear connections. Hooked up the rear rcas to the sub rca on the headunit and was up and running after connecting the power control to the amp power on.
