hi i have a question, do i have to do any mods, or have to install a special chip to install my audio system in my 2000 alero. i have 2 320 watt amps. 1 alpine eq, 15¨ sub and 1 sony car radio.

same question basically...does the stock CD player have the plugins to install an amp or do I need a new CD deck???

you def. need a new deck. no RCA jacks on the factory head unit. they do however make a converter for about $15. you slpice into your speaker wire and then you can plug in rca jacks. the problem is you also amplify all your noise. i did it for a few months in my 2000 alero. i ended up buying a new head unit to run my orion 12s with. sounded much better

no mods or chips required on my 2000 gls. the filler plate is kinda screwed up but it looks good when done. i installed a deeper cd player then cruthfield said i could. there was a need to cut a piece of the plastic in the back to fit it but it has been great for over a year. i used the wired adaptor kit from autozone and everything worked great no mods needed!

ONE word "PIONEER" lol my fav OK I have one for you. Most are single din stereos GM uses Din1/2 and the aleros is double din correct!? Well I have a din1/2 the gm factory fit pioneer and i was wondering if anyone has seen a plate to mount this one or if ill have tomake one?

I know 2000 Alero's are DIN and a 1/2 not a double DIN. I've completely replaced everything from the factory radio and speakers. I'm running Pioneer 4x6's, 6x9's and tweeters. I have 3 Audiobahn 12" subs in the trunk. With 3 Rockford amps running everything so I'm pretty sure you don't have to do any mods or special chips for it to work.

Thanks for the info!

I have a 2000 GLS and i left the factory deck and hooked up 2 alpine type R and a v12 deck to the stock system, and honestly it sounds better then when i had my alpine deck. i would recommend that you leave the stock deck in. the only adapter you need is a line out converter. there around $20 at any electronics store.
