yes you can, depending on what package you have you might need to bypass the bose amp thats in the trunk. Search the forum first, most questions like these have already been answered...

Since you have Bose, replacing the head unit is a lot more difficult. You need to run a pair of RCA's to the trunk, remove the bose amp, and replace it with a new 4ch amp. Then figure out which wire is for what speaker.

you don't HAVE to get a 4 channel to replace the bose amp. You can always run a set of speaker wires to the rear from your aftermarket HU and connect them to the existing wires, or just run a whole new set of speaker wires...
