Jensen h/u's

[noble brown]

So awhile ago I was in the market for a new double din touchscreen. I got a family so I'm a budget build kinda guy. I still stay away from cheaply made **** though. I wanted a Kenwood but I was dead set on a double din touch and them suckers is pricey. So I looked and looked and finally asked a friend and told him what I was looking for. As soon as I said bang for the buck touch screen he said Jensen. I said[emoji57] .. " **** I thought he new better " but I'm an open minded guy and so I started investigating. I needed multi outs, decent pre out voltage and a good eq. I wanted a few other things too but they were only if I could afford them. I also didn't want it to break the months down the road. To my surprise I found this Jensen DMX5020 Double-DIN Digital Media Car Stereo w/ 6.2" fit the bill and the reviews were pretty good. I really looked into it and finally bought it. Now that I've had it for awhile I wanna ask something. Anyone else have any opinions on these except they ****? Because these things are way better then pa crap or any of the other stuff in the same price range. Not Kenwood but not bad. I o scoped the pre out signal w a 60hz signal... Guess what? No clipping at full volume. Not bad. Just wanted to pass this along.

I had very good luck with the Jensen in dash DVD/multimedia players and installed quite a few for friends. They will fall apart a little quicker than the Kenwood/Alpine/Pioneer decks but IMO they're a fine value, they sound great, the screens have a good picture and they have a reasonably good assortment of features. Soundstream/Power accountstick, boss, and the brands you never heard of are garbage and should be avoided, but Jensen is a good value for the money (NOT at MSRP but at the real-world prices they go for on the big online retailers).

These days unless you're going to drop a grand on a head unit don't plan on it lasting more than 3 years if you drive a lot. They simply don't make them like they used to. Figure 2-4 years is what you'll get for your money and budget accordingly.

Jensen and phase linear (same) are the standard in touch screens in my area. lol
