I'm assuming you mean the BOSE system that you could get the truck with. Well, it's got 6 speakers: 1 per door, and a tweeter on the A-pillars facing the windshield. In addition to that, there's a subwoofer and amplifier that can be found in the center console.

Now, my truck has that ... only because it's what was on the lot, and I wanted good financing and the extended cab. However, if I have the time and money (ok, really just the money, I'll find time), I will rip out the speakers, sub, amp and radio/CD changer. Already ripped the door apart, and the "BOSE" speaker looks no different than any other factory installed speaker I've seen ... Paper cone and all. My aftermarket speakers from old truck are MUCH higher quality.

In 2000 Bose wasn't an option, I think he wants to know if it is possible to put a 2003 Bose system into a 2000. Being that the Bose system is also incorporated into the security and computer systems in the 2003 I would think it would be difficult to put one in a 2000. Not to mention each unit has to be programmed for the vehicle that it is going into (they are vin specific). Like the second post, you would be much better off going aftermarket.
