As long as the DIN cable is specifically for the Kenwood amp, there shouldn't be a problem (assuming that the amp is in good working order).
Like Perry said Ya you probably could but why would you? That amp is from like 1987 or 88 somewhere in that range. If that amp has been sitting on a shelf unused in all of that time the electrolytic capacitors in the amp are likely toast. For the kind of power that those amps are rated at you can get a brand new one for under a hundred bucks. Those amps weren't all that great back then and they sure haven't gotten any better with age. Just my two cents.
One more thing. That BOSS head unit probably has more output then the amps you are trying to hook up to it.
