jensen should never be assosiated with quality of any type. they have low end subs speakers and amps at the target up the street from me and the craftmanship and durability *seems* horrible and from what ive heard it is.
My very first amp was a jensen and it sucked. the so called low pass xover. made my 12W3's sound like shi* no bass. sounded like i had 6 1/2 speakers....if that.
