i'm not a big fan of jensen, but i could be wrong on this one. just try it out ina audio store and ask the sales experts on them.

Jensen (in my opinion of course) is junk. And there ya go again with buyin off the interweb.
Support a local shop... get a warranty, get some personal service......

yeah, but it could get damaged in the mail, or it could be defective, so it's a lot harder to get good service and communication through a monitor rather than face to face (you know, that's how they did it before the dawn of the internet, in the good ole days)

#1 stuff is cheaper online
#2 you always have the, usually, 1 year warranty with the company
#3 just don't try to break it and most of the time it'll stay fine for as long as you have it
#4 I like ebay btw

all good arguments, but not everyone thinks the same way you do.

some people would argue:
#1 stores sometimes have sales, and no shipping
#2 you can have the store warranty of more than one year, plus instant switchout b/c there isn't any shipping
#3 if it does break, again, you won't have to mail it off and wait a long time
#4 a lot of people also get scammed on ebay without any compensation from ebay or paypal, so some people are sceptics.
#5 you know where the store is, you don't know where the "ebay store" is

imo, they're not total crap, it's just in a performance perspective, they aren't that great. jensens do last a very long time though because most of them don't run as hot as many top of the line models. if anything, run with a good: jvc, sony, alpine, kenwood, or equivilent.
