Power has nothing to do with it since you're amplifying the box (as you certainly should be.) I would assume the signal would be cleaner using a shielded wire from a standard RCA jack, as opposed to using a kit that taps into the speaker wiring. I don't think the OEM stereo has anything on the back.

I would guess that the box you showed us isn't matched at all for the stock stereo so you wouldn't win any sound quality competitions. Without a crossover to cut the bass to your oem speakers, you will have to probably raise the gain on the kenwood such that it sounds good when your bass setting on the stereo is around zero. that's my advice anyway. either way, that box may drown out the rest of the sound causing it to sound muddy.

my advice, stick with your stock setup or sell your box and amp for an infinity basslink.
