Fit 03 dakota QC 4x4 SLT w/infinity

The following review is for JD500/1, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Installed under passenger seat no issues. Sounds great and hits just right for my taste with the JD500.1 amp. Be sure your box is .65 cu ft of airspace sealed to get the best sound.

Good Amp

The following review is for JD500/1, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

It's a good amp, small and compact, and I've had zero issues with it. Just upgrading my setup to 1,000 watt monoblock amp. Definitely would recommend!
