There is no power amp in the head unit of the Bose. The original wiring
from the head unit to the speakers doesn't work for a head unit like the
Pioneer that sends an already-amplified signal. If you buy aftermarket,
which is what I would do, keep all of the old stuff just in case you ever
sell the car to someone who's an originality nut. But I doubt that will
ever matter on a '90, so yank the Bose speakers, put in some decent ones
with the correct wire and enjoy.
If you want something that will work with your iPod, something like this
would fit the dash opening fine:
