Jensen Heavy Duty

Why replace your factory radio?

Two good reasons - sound quality and cool features. A new car stereo offers power that's superior to most factory radios, along with more sophisticated tone controls. And most car stereos offer built-in or optional features that add safety and fun to life in your car, including inputs for your iPod or MP3 player, Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free cell phone calls, satellite radio or HD Radio reception, and connections for building an audio system in your car.

Our take on the Jensen Heavy Duty JHD1120B

by Ken Nail

The Jensen Heavy Duty JHD1120B receiver will hold up in the tough conditions you encounter at job sites and on the road. It'll handle vibrations, temperature fluctuations, and humidity with ease, and the front panel's protective covering keeps out the dust and grime you encounter when taking on dirty jobs. And if you're a trucker who takes your stereo out of the rig when you're off the job, the receiver's built-in memory will keep all your presets and other settings for 30 days.

The receiver's AM and FM tuner lets you check out your favorite radio stations, while the Weather Band tuner keeps you up to date on changing weather conditions in your area. If you're on the road a lot, the Radio Broadcast Data Service (RBDS) alerts you to traffic conditions in select areas. If you've got a portable player, you can plug it into the minijack input right on the front panel.

The backlit LCD display is easy to read in all lighting conditions, and you can add an optional remote control if you'd like.

This digital media receiver will not play CDs. If you want to play CDs in your vehicle, we offer a wide selection of CD receivers.

      Heavy Duty Series

      Heavy Duty: The Jensen Heavy Duty JHD1120 is an AM/FM/RBDS/WB in-dash receiver. Jensen Heavy Duty series head units are specifically designed, built, and tested to withstand even the harshest road and work conditions, such as humidity, electrostatic discharge, vibrations, and temperature fluctuations. Its entire front panel is an impervious membrane protected to prevent dirt, grime from accessing control panel through pushbutton gaps. The head unit's conformal coated PCB board and heavy-duty design specification provides maximum durability under all conditions. The following tests are performed on Jensen's Heavy Duty in-dash receivers.

      • Extreme Temperature & Humidity Test: Tested to ensure that the unit will fully function in -22° F to 158° F temperatures, as well as up to 95% relative humidity.
      • Vibration Test: Tested to withstand 4G's at 20-500Hz for 9 hours to ensure the unit can withstand the extreme environments most commonly met in heavy duty applications.
      • RF Performance Test: The RF Chamber test ensures that the stereo keeps clean signals in and the bad signal out, so you are always left with a steady signal without outside interference.
      • Electrostatic Discharge Test: The Electrostatic Discharge Test exposes the radio to up to 25 kilovolts to make sure it can withstand the most severe static build-up while you are out on the job.
      • Severe Electrical Environment Test: The Jensen Heavy Duty radio is designed to survive an alternator battery disconnection, because it is equipped with the necessary component to prevent "Load Dump" destruction.

      Note: This head unit does not contain a CD-slot.

      Single DIN Mounting: This unit is designed for installation in a vehicle with an existing 1-DIN radio opening. In many cases a special installation kit will be required to mount the radio to your vehicle's dashboard. The JHD1120 features an integrated trim-ring and removable cage for E-size mounting only.

      Note: Please consult the Crutchfield Car Selector to see if your vehicle is compatible.

      2-Line Power System: The Jensen Heavy Duty series head unit features a 2-Line Power System which prevents battery drain when the vehicle is turned off.

      Jensen JHD1120B

      Written By AKBrownBear, Eagle River AK on Sunday, April 21, 2013
      Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
       
      Purchased for a CAT excavator where it is installed vertically (face up) in the factory slot in the door-side electrical panel. In that location it is subject to dust and moisture. I needed rugged, rain resistant unit that did not have a CD slot which would admit dirt.

      Pros:
      Simple - I really like the separate buttons for most functions. It is as easy to use (intuitive) as a factory car radio. While having one knob doing multiple functions may be "cool," it is not cool to have to pull out the owner's manuel to make the darn thing work. When you operate multiple vehicles and pieces of equipment, "keeping it simple stupid" (KISS) makes a lot of sense!
      Cons:
      It is a relatively expensive unit. A headphone jack would be really nice! I use noise canceling headphones on when operating the excavator and having the jack on the radio, would save a lot of wiring.

      Quality Radio that is easy to use. However the FM or AM sound quality rivals that of most AM radios. It is tough I have some in John Deere tractors. Still trying to fuigure out how to dial the display, the manual is vague on somethings.

      Jensen Heavy Duty Lives Up To Its Name!

      Written By LanceM, Paducah,Ky on Monday, November 26, 2012
      Installed in a 2008 Mercury Grand Marquis
      Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
       
      Installed this awesome radio in a Kubuta M9540 a/c cab tractor and couldnt be happier! The orange display is even a perfect match to the tractors dash illumination! When you pick up this radio it is immediately apparent that it is a better built unit than the average consumer receiver. the display is large and easy to read. The buttons and knob are just the perfect size and easy to read. When you push the buttons and turn the knob it is obvious that this is well built deck. Before purchasing this radio i had installed a low end jvc cd receiver. It lasted a measely 6 months in the harsh environment of farming/tractor use. This jensen heavy duty model is a HUGE improvement in quality and craftsmanship over the jvc. Not that the jvc was a cheap piece of junk by anymeans, but it was not built for offroad use like this beast is! If you are looking for a radio for any vehicle that will receive use other than paved driving on a normal basis, this Jensen is the only way to go! And if you simply desire a well built radio with easy to read displays and "old school" buttons this is your best bet. By the way the sound quality was as good as the jvc, and the menu/navigation is much easier to read! My 72 year old father was overcome with joy to find that he could actually see the display and operate the radio with ease! He unfortunately had a high level of difficulty with the "mickey mouse" features of the more modern style jvc. This thing even has a aux input for a mp3/ipod player!
      Pros:
      Rock solid build and craftsmanship! Easy to read display, easy to navigate menus, push buttons have a feeling of quality, not like the tiny cheap ones on most of todays aftermarket radios.
      Cons:
      No preamp output on this model, but the cd player model does have one, this isnt an issue unless you want to add a external amp, the internal amp is poweful enough for full range speakers.

      Written By RJ, Chester, VA on Sunday, July 29, 2012
      Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
       
      This radio is a perfect fit for the driver that drives a different truck everyday. The radio presets and the clock retaining its info is why I chose this unit. The rugged design and resistance to shock and dust were just a bonus. Not having to reset the clock every day was worth the extra money.... If your one of those drivers that need to build a roadbox with a radio and cb, you can't go wrong with this unit..... I have not needed it yet but, I'm sure the weather band is going to come in handy at some point.
      Pros:
      non-volitile memory, rugged design, ease of installation, sound quality
      Cons:
      cost is a bit pricey

      Darn good radio. A major step up from factory. The weather band has already come in handy. Living in Oklahoma in the spring has its weather problems. The weather band makes getting updates easy while on the road.
      Pros:
      Good sound, nice set up. Weather Band +++
      Cons:
      Instructions from Jensen in fine print. Hard to read for old eyes.

      Just what I was looking for

      Written By PhilSoll, Seattle WA on Saturday, September 10, 2011
      Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
       
      Installed it in my camper so we can listen to AM/FM and then weather when we need to when going out fishing. Sound is excellent with the original (Cheap) camper 4 speakers. Haven't had it out to test reception on the Washington coast yet. My only gripe is thta the pin diagrams were not accurate, The Jensen one had the + and - in the wrong slots, and the one from Crutchfield was not even close. So I had to scratch my head for a bit on connecting the wires, and I still am not really sure if the RF-LF-RR-LR are right.

      Heavy Duty? Time will tell...

      Written By Paul K, Greenville, SC on Wednesday, April 06, 2011
      Installed in a 2000 Jeep Wrangler
      Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
       
      Pros: (1) Easy installation with the bracket and wiring harnesses that
      Crutchfield provided! (Thanks, Crutchie!). (2) Conformal coating on the circuit
      boards inside should make this a durable device for a Jeep Wrangler
      installation. (3) Weather Band right there! (4) No CD slot to let rain in!
      (5) Rubber cover on the AUX jack keeps the rain out!

      Con: No dimmer wire! I have to go through a couple of layers of menu to dim
      the radio display at night. (My pro for this particular con is that I seldom
      drive this car at night. Even when I do, I've got it dim enough for night use,
      and the LCD is so legible it really doesn't need illumination in the day.)
