cruzer555 Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 I'm not just jumping on the dis-wagon, but you're getting good input here. Jensen had some bangin' speakers back in the day, but every one of their HU's I've ever seen is cheap junk. Just compare the weight against your old school Volvo/Alpine. That alone speaks volumes. And to hear that they're standing on Audiovox's rep as a positive? That's just frackin' hilarious! When I was a dash monkey, we routinely bench tested every single Audiovox that came in. About half of those POS's were DOA outta the box - Yes, NEW decks. Absolute junk. All I'm saying is take a good hard look at that thing when it shows. I'd strongly suggest looking further and farther for an updated unit. You can do waaay better. And at the very least, check it out on the bench before you make any mods to the dash... Best of Luck! Yes, you have it right exactly! Definitely not trying to make this a diss-wagon, just trying to steer the OP away from putting cheap crap in an otherwise awesome car (love my C70 and all others for that matter haha coupesFTW!)Again- I am not saying Jensen is flawless- this unit however seems to have a okay reputation... certainly I am not expecting a 2012-2013, $1000 Pioneer or Kenwood...but if anyone of you can show me a *good* HU for less than $400 that has a dedicated center channel with Dolby Support, a touch screen... and fits a double din dash. Then that would be great... I have been searching for a long long time- this is the only one I've found. I am entirely grateful for the feedback- don't get me wrong- just wasn't finding anything that really matched what I am seeking so I bit the bullet on the closest advertised match... Also- like I said- if the Jensen is a total POS i'll return it right away... I'll have ebay and Paypal to back that.... I've dealt with DOA items- that happens with all electronics, its not always that a company *sucks* if an item is DOA... anything could have happened in transit or lord knows... If you need Dolby, buy a used SC900 or SC901 with an iPod adapter. I have a 900 to sell, just sold my 901. If you need touchscreen, buy a used kenwood that USED TO BE $1000 now $350. DNX6960, don't focus on a fuckin center channel if you want a GOOD touchscreen. I see Dolby and touchscreen as an either/or option. YOU CAN'T HAVE BOTH if you want a quality unit! Trust me you'll rue the day you bought a cheap HU every time it lags and freezes..... And when everyone in the ghetto thinks its silver face looks mad dope and breaks your windows to steal it!
