Monster Power

The following review is for a previous version (BX2005D).

I purchased this amp a little over a month ago. It wasn't until recently that I completed my install. I have it hooked to 3 12" Audiobahn ALUM12N subs that are 6ohm DVC for the 1ohm load. They handle 1100 watts RMS each and this amp beats the crap out of them. I recommend this if you need the 2000 RMS honest-to-goodness watts of pulverizing power. Stays at a moderate temperature without extra cooling. Make sure to install it out in the open. Or in a rack with some fans. But so far, so good with them temps.
Overall, it's a simple amp, has a few lights, loads of power, and gets the job done with no B/S.

This amp is a beast!!

The following review is for a previous version (BX2005D).

This amp is an all-out power house. My friend has this amp in his 04 suburban with 2 kicker L7s and the roof looks like its going to cave in with all the flex. This Amp puts out all the clean power you need and its all there..not overrated what so ever. If you need a great powerful amp for a decent price definitely go with Hifonics, they are Great for the money and durability!!

Hifonics Amp

I got this amp running 2 pioneer premier 12's that I bought from sonic. This amp is great. I have never had any problems with it. My subs hit like no other. The lights on the amp light up the whole back of my van. Good amp for the price.

Awesome Amp

The following review is for a previous version (BX2005D).

Hifonics amps are really great amps. They probable have the best bang for your buck. If you buy this amp be sure to have your head pounded if you put the right subs on it cause they could blow. The only downfall is that you probably need either a cap, battery, or higher amp alternator.

Amp rocks

The following review is for a previous version (BXi2006D).

I have this amp with 2 Hifonics BX12D2 and man does this amp put out alot of power. Thats not even the best part, when people say this amp does not get hot they are right. I was listening to my system for about an hour and a half straight and when i opened my trunk and felt my amp it was hardly hot. If you want an amp that can be affordable compared to other amps and push out all the wattage you need this is it.

Awesome amp

The following review is for a previous version (BX2005D).

My sister let me pick out all her stuff for her system and I got this amp pushin a 15" L7. It bumps hard and the amp has never had any problems. Great amp, easy to use, pushes a lot of watts.

Great amp

The following review is for a previous version (BX2005D).

I just recently bought this amp and it's awesome. I am pushing two Earthquake 18's with this monster and they sound beautiful. The only problem I've had so far is the little light-up Maxxsonics logo on the remote bass knob has went out, but oh well, I'm not one for looks, just good music and bass. Anyone looking for awesome bass at a great price, this is your amp.

Great amp!

The following review is for a previous version (BXi2006D).

I am currently using this amp to power 2 12" eclipse titaniums running at 1.5 ohms, and it really slams pretty hard!! You can't ask for a better amp at this price. It has excellent sound quality amp, and decent bass. However I do think the power ratings are a bit inflated.

Great AMP

Been using this AMP for almost 3 years and still running strong with not a single problem. Is been threw 3 vehicles with me and is now mounted to the back wall of my 02 chevy duramax pushing 4 sa-8s and it sounds unbelievable. I would recomend this AMP for everyone that wants a lot of power, longevity, and stability.

Overrated. Great price.

The following review is for a previous version (BXi2006D).

Amp gets a little hot not gonna lie, also doesn't put out 2000 watts at 14.4 volts. But not too much less. Using all 0 awg wires even big 3 upgrade and this amp outperforms 2 kenwood kac-9104d's and for less cost. Sounds a lot better and a little louder. But the biggest difference was after prolonged use it didn't get quieter in any way.
Great buy.

shakes your car

The following review is for a previous version (BXi2006D).

I have this amp currently pushing 2 pioneer 3000 watts max each.thats 6000watts total and boy does it perform.each speaker is 1000watts rms bridged to 1om..the bxi2006D on these speakers shakes my entire car,house and every other house on my street.for the price it definitly is worth it.it is way cheaper than rockford or any other high quality amp but make no mistake it performs just as great.its the best in its price range.

Not quite a bad boy.

Nice clean power, no quite the 2000 watts it claims but nevertheless still a decent amp for the money. Fried mine running a single 15 at 2 ohm. No built-in fuse i feel is the problem.

The following review is for a previous version (BXi2006D).

this amp is heavy, i new it would be an awesome amp but then i opened it up and its got guts. i have it hooked up to two Soundstream T5's and i swear my eyes shake inside my head because when it hits, stop signs go blurry and tops of cars vibrate. my whole trunk is dynamat and i put my shoe on it and it bounced off in a couple seconds. wish it had 0 gauge connectors but it seems to not need it.

Sonic BOOM

The following review is for a previous version (BXi2006D).

This amp is one massively powerful Beast for that price. Beats any mono amp in its price and bellows out power. Very high quality and powerful, Subs with the slightest weak points will get fried in seconds.

Yep

The following review is for a previous version (BXi2006D).

I got one of these pushin two kicker 15' L5's and they knock. No other amp that i have heard does the job like this one. I have a friend with 3 pioneer premier 12's and this amp and my ears feel like they are bleeding when he bumps. A definate buy if u got the money.

Awesome amp.

The following review is for a previous version (BXi2006D).

Do not underestimate this amp. Although the Brutus name is new and not well known, this amp does not play around. It is a certified SUBWOOFER KILLER! So far on my killed in action list are (4) kicker comp vr 2 ohm 12s, 1 soundstream XS-12/2, (2) kicker solo-baric L7 15s [yes, i didn't stutter, they couldn't hang for a 45 second drag], 2 brutus 12 inch 2ohm [so far these speakers performed the BEST. The amp is not supposed to be able to run less than 1 ohm stable, but I ran it at .5 ohm putting out close to 3000 watts rms. This amp does not play around. With 5 being a perfect score, I'd give this amp an 8.

...Best amp but never like ZEUS (1600 rms)

I'm pushing 4 12" kicker L5 with this baby. Running @ 1 ohm. 0g. Cable, 5.0 Capacitor, # batteries. Living Loud!!!! It make my ear bleed, even with the 4 door windows down. Doesn't get hot thanbks to "Super D class".

Good BOOM on a budget

The following review is for a previous version (BXi2006D).

This is one of the best amps that I have own. It's by no means on par with Kicker, MTX or Alphasonik. But its still great for the price thats its going for. It is a little over rated on the wattage that it is stating. I currently have it pushing 2 Kicker L7s and its a great combination. Only problem is that the amp has no built in fuse or gives no info on the manual on what size to run on the power cable. But hey, you get for what you pay for.

Insane Bass

The following review is for a previous version (BXi2006D).

I had this amp hooked up to two Audiobahn Alum12s and wow did they quake. This amp does not get hot and thereis very little distortion. Not only does it perform well but it looks very good especially at night when those blue lights light up the back of your car.

Great Amp

The following review is for a previous version (BXi2006D).

I have owned my Brutus for about a little over a year, and it has been a beast. I have mine pushing two MTX T9515-44s. It is one of the best amps I have ever owned. You can install it with 4 or 0 gauge wire. With extra bats you can get your moneys worth and some out of this amp. For how small it is really performs well, and over heating is never a problem.

The following review is for a previous version (BXi2006D).

Impressive!

The following review is for a previous version (BXi2006D).

I had bad experiences with "budget" amps. This is far from it. I have this amp pushing 3 L7 10's at 1.34 ohms and it doesn't even get warm. Not quite as loud as my Fosgate 2000bd (before it crapped out on me) but pretty close especially for hundreds of dollars less. Running 1/0 g wire with stock electric system in 04 mustang GT, minimal to no light dimming. If your on a budget and you want performance give this amp a serious thought, you won't be dissapointed.

OOOOOOhhhhhh!!!

The following review is for a previous version (BX2005D).

I have one of these amps, BUT...I have it strapped to 2 (yes i said 2!!) MTX AUDIO THUNDER 9500 12" subs. This amp slams the piss out of them too. It causes about a three inch flex in the glass of my 94 Mazda MX-3. This is a mean amp and I highly recommend it to everyone

The following review is for a previous version (BXi2006D).

This amp is pushin my 2 12" Pioneer Premiers. I got it running at 1 ohm for 2000 watts rms. and that thing makes my woofers pound. It looks bad azz, its a really good size, and it performs perfectly. highly recommended.
