Didn't Jensen go under? I know they used to be sold at Radio Shack, and other places.

I think Jensen sucks, but that is me. I also cant see how they are dominating... The only way I can see this happening, is how well the pirces are, if its really cheap price, for something that looks semi beafy to teens (not to smart, and just look at the surround) then yeah I can this happening I guess.. I hope they dont take over.. I would like to see some other companies take over with there quailty and matching prices..

I think they corner the market in a
surpluss sort of way. Make tonnes, sell cheap, cash in.

Everone likes to hold on to thise money...

I have this amp: http://www.epinions.com/pr-Jensen_A6...udio_Amplifier : . It thumped a pair 'o 5 1/2 fronts and pair o' 8" subs, till I hooked it up wrong and let the magic smoke out . A 'C' note at local repair shop put it back in working order and tomorrow it goes into my ladies '97 Caviller w/ 4 new Fusion speakers all around. No sub YET... I'm still working on her bout that!

The cheaper they sell their stuff, the more people will buy it. It doesnt surprise me they are a #1 seller. I see their stuff in almost all major retail chains.

Considering the price, Jensen is not THAT bad..

Btw, I didnt say they were good [img]smile.gif[/img] , just not THAT bad.
