Designed in the same heat sink as the Zeus series, the Brutus amplifiers compliment Hifonics full-range amps. Try the Zeus and Brutus amps today if you want an awesome illuminated look to your trunk with superb, ultra-Fi MOSFET power!

I have this amp powering 3 P2D2-12" PUNCH 2011 model subwoofers and this amp makes them bump hard and clean. Have had this amp for 2 years. Would recommend HIFONICS to everyone.

I have this powering 2 12" AW1206T's each taking 750watt RMS at one ohm they are wired in parallel for the 1ohm load.... cant barely breath in my front seats let alone the back.... It barely gets warm after 1 hour of pure pounding at 1500rms and keeps on going... i ran it for 3 hours before it started getting warm which is amazing considering i had it in the 1 ohm load. Great amp. Make sure when you wire it your wiring to spec..... it is not stable at all ohm loads

Love this amp, this is my second one and have recomended it to all of my friends. It hits hard, I am running two Alpine type R 1042D's at 2 ohms... plenty of power for them... I also like the bass knob that allows me to tune from the front seat for the type of music I am listening to.

Ricky helped me resolve a problem and got answers immediately! I appreciate his attention and that is why I buy from Sonic. A lot of other companies should pay attention to the way Sonic and their folks do business!
