Performance meets Value

The new 2010 Hifonics Brutus amplifiers are much more than a good-looking amplifier. Underneath the solid aluminum casing, you will find quality amplifier components that are sure to satisfy any compatible subwoofer. The new BRZ amplifiers have changed the heat sinks on each side to vertical aluminum fins. Since heat rises, these fins draw the heat up and allow it so effectively dissipate from the amplifier. The vertical aluminum heat sinks are located on two sides of the amplifier and effectively maintain the temperature of the amplifier to prevent any overheating. Combined with the other power/protection indicators and the 4-way system protection circuitry, the Hifonics Brutus amplifiers prove to be a safe, efficient, and reliable amplifier for your subwoofer.

Every Brutus amplifier is CEA-2006 certified. That means you can be confident in knowing that you are paying for real power. The wattage that the amplifier is rated at is the wattage that it will consistently produce and supply your subwoofer with. This is typically a feature just found on the higher-end, expensive amplifiers, however all the Brutus series amps are CEA-2006 compliant with a low price tag. By choosing one of these amplifiers, you will be high-grade performance and still have money left over. Performance meets value with the Hifonics Brutus amplifiers!

Great Amp!!

worth every penny . thanks hifonics

I had amp 1608d 1610d and now brz 1700d u can tell the difference between thees amps. 1608d and 1610d were good amps no problems. The brz line is way better . I got this pushing 2 kicker l7 12s in a 6 cubic foot box tuned at 40 htz . And all i got to say is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Buy this amp its worth it . If u feel like the amp is not putting out properly upgrade your wiring. Also add a yellow top battery and maybe a high out put alternator. And then see what happens . U will be impressed

Bad A$$ Amp

I have had this amp for almost a year now, I have it paired up with 2 12" Alpine Type R's in a ported box and it pushes them to the max. I have had people asking if i had 2 amps running the system and i only have the amp tuned about 3/4 of the way up. I would highly recommend this amp!!!!!!! Definitely going to get new ones when I redo the system.

AWESOME AMP!

I bought this amp a few months ago and man do I love it! It's so heavy and the only downside to it right now is that I only have a stock battery/alternator so I'm sure I'm not getting the most out of it! WORTH THE MONEY!!

The Beast aka Brutus

I have this amp with 2 orions 124 and it is giving my speakers the business. I have the amp turned over half way down one the external boost control. I Have been told that I could be heard about 3 blocks coming down the street. This amp is a great buy. I plan on getting 2 more orions in the near future and this amp can handle those as well. Get this you will love it , its worth the money.

BADA**

I had A crappy lanzar vibe amp I got at the flee market at full power hooked up to two Alpine Type R 15 in a ported box in my truck. I was looking for something with more power and damn, this amp pounds my 15s hard! My rearview mirror shakes off and parts of my truck are rattling apart. Good value for under $300 out the door(with tax). highly recommend this amp. Never heated up, not once. Blue illumination looks nice at night.
- Dont have capacitor? GET ONE. You will need it.

Awesome Amp

I'm updating my previous review due to some changes i've made to my system. My digital designs 3512 sc subs are now broken in. I have two brutus 1700 amps driving the two dvc 4 subs, coils wired parallel, amps are being presented with 2 ohms each. I can't say enough good things about these amps. My system is intended to be competition level and it's almost there. The most recent spl check was 154.3 in a '09 silverado ext. Cab without the rear seat.

For all the people i'm seeing that say hifonics amps are power hungry and their lights dim when the bass hits blah blah blah. You do not start building a system by throwing two huge amps and two subs in a car and go from there. Upgrade your charging system first! You can't expect to blast 1,700 watts off a stock alternator and 4, 6 or on some foreign cars, 8 ga. Charging system cabling. I have two yellow top dura last 1100 cca batteries and a stock hd 160 amp alternator and i have no problems driving two brutus 1700's and a zeus zxi150.4 (1,200 watts). No problems at all. I have gains set properly! This means doing the simple math to convert expected wattage output to ac voltage and setting the amp gains to that number using a test tone with your head unit at reference volume! If you don't know how to set up an amp, get some help! These brutus amps are awesome. And Sonic is awesome. I order on a Monday night and i have boxes on my step by wednesday when i get home from work.

Great amp for the money

I had this amp on two RE Audio SEX 10's in the trunk of my BMW. It pounded!! I love Hifonics because they are easy to tune and the price is great. I like this design better than the new models. For around $200 bucks, you cant go wrong. If you use 2 gauge wire and a Kinetik battery, this amp becomes a certified beast!!

Be Smart!!!

I would tell all my boys to get this! But please listin to the ratings if your sub say 300watt rms find an amp thats for that sub if it say 600watt rms wire it to the specs or else u wont have your sub anymore I had an punch BD 1000.1 an this is cheaper an hit harder if u kno what your doing so join the band wagon if u want to beat your town up much luv Hifonics an Sonic nobody beats U!!!!
