Is this any good?


Recommended Posts

So with this post, I'll probably get laughed off of the site. Do you guys have any experience or know anything about this headunit?

It is listed with 5 volt preouts which sounds great to me. If you think I should keep looking, what should I look for now? It must be a double din, with at least 4v preouts, navigation, DVD/CD, and Auxiliary. What could I get for around the same price if not cheaper IF this one is not good. I'm also willing to look at used HU's.

First off, i have no experience with this model but i did take a Jensen with motorized face out of a Dodge one time. Before i did i played with it a little bit and it was probably the worst head unit I had used. Second, How's the weather in Zanesville? We just spent 2 weeks in Duncan Falls during Christmas, and for this florida boy the snow was killing me.

I have a Jensen uv9 in my car and a Jensen double din in my wifes car, They arent the worst radio but you can get much better for the price. I'm upgrading soon.

Spend the little extra coin and get the Pioneer deck. I remember when Jensen used to be cool in my town a few years back, everybody had their cheap flip out from BestBuy that was like 100 bucks lol

Duncan Falls, huh? I go fishing at Blue Rock about once a week during the summer months. Weather here was about 40 degrees today, so not quite as bad as what we have been seeing. Last Thursday we got hit with 3-4 inches of snow, an additional 4-6 on Sunday, and ice on Monday night. Some of it melted today, but all that does is makes everything wet. I hate Ohio weather..
