Re: replacing the bose head unit

Hi
No expert here but the crutchfield website says the two Kenwood units they sell fit when you search for 2000 intrigue. User reviews say alot of wiring but not too difficult. You might want to read them for a little more info.

Good luck

It was easy,just get the wiring kit from Walmart or wherever,and the install kit.1 1/2 hour average start to finish.

No, I have the amp in mine and it just takes the strain off your head unit, because you don't have to crank it up past half way.

If this bothers you, you can go get a connector that goes in place of the amp and bypasses it.
There is only one amp!!(in trunk)
