why bother at that point.. the nice part of the bose systems is the powered speakers, i bet it will sound like a turd without them.

You can use the Bose deck but you have to pull the amplifier module off of a non Bose deck for the speakers to work. Bose head units basically have a preamp output to run the amps at the speakers. They do not have enough power to drive the speakers on their own.
