I have an older Bose system that the speakers are aready behind the walls. I want to connect my record player to those speakers preferably by Bluetooth. Is the possible if either are not Bluetooth capable?

If you can use a wired connection that would sound better and avoid converting the analog turntable goodness into digital BT and then back to analog again in the Bose.
If the turntable has a built in phono preamp make sure it is on. Plug the turntable into any stereo analog input. It can have 2 RCA jacks or a 3.5mm stereo jack and it will work.
If you do have to use BT then a BT transmitter can be connected to the same line level output of the turntable. Audio Technica makes a turntable with BT built in.

If your turntable doesn't have a built in phone preamp you will need to get one and connect it to the turntable output and its output to the Bose or the BT...

If the record player has line out or USB. If it has phono level outputs only, then an extra amp is required ....
