[QUOTE="Redliner, post: 445531, member: 553037"] I haven't ever heard Jensen from "back in the day", but a buddy of mine has 2 12" Jensen's (XS Series - Blue), and some kind of weird looking Jensen amp. Let me sum it up for you... Good beats from about a block away, but the subs them selves... Um... No. Way too much distortion. :thumbsdow The amp... Seriously over rated. Over heats quickly. Too showy. Jensen should have spent their money making their stuff better than trying to get kids to buy it because it looks good. (Kind of like Audiobahn's stuff.)
