If you could tell me the best way to wire for the switched power and how to properly tap into signal like speaker wires color and location so I can get the sub to work it'd be great. Thanks in advance.

Are you trying to add an aftermarket amp and sub in addition to your BOSE subwoofer? I want to do the same thing, so I'm trying to see if it's possible.

It shouldn't be too hard, you can use the speaker wires of the bose sub as high-level inputs for your amplifier - just have to run power and connect the ground assuming you find an amp that uses high-level input as a remote turn on. You can use something like THIS to tap into the existing speaker wires so you don't have to cut them.
