The hiss may be caused by having the gain on the preamp and/or amp set too high.

The reception problem could be caused by a bad wire from the antenna to the head unit. Or the Kenwood tuner is less sensitive than the Bose. There may be a setting in the Kenwood to adjust sensitivity - sometimes labeled Local/Distance (Loc/DX).
