Default Are rear C5 speakers amplified

I am not planning on putting any rear speakers in my system at all. Just in case, however, I would like to attach the head unit to the factory rear speakers so that, if I can't handle not having the rear fill, I can replace the factory speakers and power from the head unit using factory wiring.

Is it OK for me to simply connect the wires from the new head unit for the factory rears to the factory rear wires or do I need some special adapter because of it being Bose?
