Upgrading audio system from Jensen to Bose?
Any comments welcomed regarding improving the OEM Jensen to a better quality audio system?

The first thing I would do is replace the speakers. I did on a previous TT and found the OEM ones were archaic design, like you'd find in a 40s or 50's automobile. Installed some slightly larger dia. 2-way speakers and got a reasonable improvement. Check speaker specs closely before buying. I think a sub-woofer would be a nice thing to have.
Jensen doesn't give very good specs on the amp and just tells you the frequency range but not the bandwidth (for ex., +/- 6 dB, 20-20KHz)). I suspect it can't be all that good if they don't tell you the bandwidth.
I'd love to replace our Jensen too (same one) but it's not a simple re&re upgrade in the same opening. I don't like the component video output and would like to have HDMI but not sure if there's an easy way to get something to fit somewhere.
It also bugs me that the radio does not have a station scan feature.
I keep hoping somebody will post a great replacement unit that will fit in the same Jensen opening.
Ours never freezes and is never affected by switching lights. Something has to be wrong, and maybe the unit itself. Good excuse to upgrade.
