You can retain the active bass amp, but it uses speaker level inputs, not pre-amp level inputs. I did it on my '93 and it worked surprisingly well. Since your Kenwood probably has a 4 channel amp, you are best off wiring the head unit directly to all four speakers. The factory system uses a 2 channel amp through the fader in the center console. You can retain this, but you give up half the power of the head unit. Don't forget to run the turn on signal to the amp.
