Nice, but......................

First of all let me say that I do like this amp, from the features to the illumination, to the overall capacity of the amp. This amp is currently running two NVX VCW124's at a steady 1 ohm load. I have the subs in a ported box tuned for 38hz with 2.25cu-ft per chamber, so I am pushing 550W RMS to each speaker, and it sounds amazing.............that is........until.....the amp overheats. I have lined my trunk with dynamat to help with sound quality, spl and temperature also. Now I am not trying to dog this amp one bit, but overheating?!?! Really? So to help with this method i have modified the amp slightly with two fans that I attached to the back side of the amp (keep in mind my amp is sitting on a slant with nothing behind it). So far so good. I ran those fans on one individual ground separated from my car audio, and connected those fans with an ignition power wire so the current is not drawn from the remote wire running from my Clarion head unit, keeping the mAmp usage low so the circuit on the deck doesn't burn up. So far to the date after the mod no overheating after only 20 minutes of play time. So at this current time I like the amp but it does have some set backs.

New hifonics BRX lime rumbles

You are getting a clean 1000 watts into 1 ohm with this amp... looks like the improved the primary stage on this model to make it a touch more efficient. Best amp you can buy in this price range. Not DC AUDIO level at all... but its midrange..and value... way way way better than any of the crap from BOSS or Power Acoustik.

BRX 1116.1D

This Hifonics amp has the excellent appearance of all the Brutus amplifiers. It is rounder than its predecessor "BRX 1100.1D". One thing I noticed is that the newer "BRX 1116.1D" only has 1 60A fuse where as the predecessor is equipped with 2 60A fuses. It may be just me but that gives me the feeling that the predecessor is more powerful. I also prefer the more square look of the previous model.

Great Amplifier For a Good Price.

I was recommended this amplifier by one of the Sonic staff (I forgot his name). I have to say that this amplifier is great so far, no issue or anything. It sounds great with the Hifonics subwoofers. I like the design, it's great. I don't really care much about loud system, not in it for the competition. I just want a good system with good sound quality. I brought this as a temporary.... Soon or later, I'll be getting something different.

Worth the money!

My friend has 2 of these they make the subs slam

Alright amp. Fot the same money, I would go with the brx1100.1d

Its not cea compliant. While its a good amp, it is not a full 1100 watts. For the same amount , you can get the brx1100.1D and its a true 1100 watts.

Great price!

This amp is great! Easy to understand and come with a lot info straight outta the box!!! One the best amps i've ever owned it provides a lot of power

My first mono block

I've never used Hifonics before so I had to go off of other reviews and I'm glad I did. Great features and quality. Looks good too. Lots of power to drive my two 12s cleanly. Now we'll see how long it's lives. I would buy their products again for sure.

Good amp

Hifonics has never failed me, other than my last amp burning up, that was my fault. But this amp has good power and built solid. Pushes my speakers good, but I could make it louder

Great product!!!

Hifonics products have never failed me. I'm super stoked about this product. This amp powering one 12 in a tuned box also purchased from sonic electronix, was a great choice for an inexpensive sound system with high quality results. Thank you sonic electronix and hifonics.

Best 1100-watt at 1 ohm single channel Amp on the market

So i bought this to power a 15" Soudqubed HDS3115 which is rated at 1200w RMS @ 1 ohm. This subwoofer really was the best deal for power ratio I could find that also was A. Reliable and B. Had plenty of ratings and guys with legit systems behind it to back it up. It's been 3 weeks or so since I got it all installed and boy does this system slap. The amp is an absolute machine, gladly will run for hours non-stop. It's not pushing the sub past it's limits, so the bass knob will spend some time maxed out when I'm in the mood and it just loves it. I pulled over after an hour long drive to class and had been bumping the whole way, put my hand to the amp and it was barely warm, I mean not hot at all. So I'm impressed, so far it's been no complaints at all. Hifonics hit it right with this badboy, for anyone needing around 1000w to 1200w for their sub, and are looking to keep it budget, but still get a good product, this amp is the real deal.

Great Amp

I always purchase, Hifonics amplifiers when installing car audio and they have never failed me. This amp in particular definitely exceeded my expectations with its power output.

My favorite amp it works great on my massive 12 pushes it just like I needed it to

Nothing but the truth

Love hiphonics it's truely power from the goods for a good price

Best bang for buck

Im really impressed. For what it can handle, and for the price? You can't beat it.

Good bang for your buck!

This amp is my first hifonics and I gotta day I’m impressed with the way it handles 2 10’s. Definitely recommend it if it’s what your looking for.

Great Purchase

I originally ordered the wrong amp my mistake but a few minutes on the phone to a agent and he handled the return of wrong one and got this one it's for my grandson truck we installed it on a pair of 12 subs and it rattles the house maybe to much for him keep up the great products and services by your agents to

Ohm's Law says this amp is a lie

The amplifier has a 60A fuse in the side of it. Ohm's Law says voltage x current = Power. So the best possible voltage you'll see in a car is 14.4V x the maximum possible current of 60A = 864 Watts......THAT'S IF the amplifier was 100% efficient, which is impossible. Realistically, we're right around 700W on this Class D design. While 700W for this price is nothing to sneeze at, just know what you're buying.

Awesome!!!

This amp can easily compete with JL or kicker. It has lots of power!!

Good amp

This amp is great. It powers 2 12 inch kicker comp s no problem. The blue lights light up my whole trunk

Awesome product for the buck!

I REALLY like the Brutus car amp series they are dependable an WORRY FREE , im gonna recommend them to ALL my friends an family
, good job Hifonics!☺

Great experience

Best value I found after researching for hours. Technician recommended this amp to me instead of another one. Definitely a better choice. My system beatz!!!

lots of power at a great price

really works great with the rockford fosgate 2 - 8 in. 500 watt. subs in a band pass enclosier

Not Everything that it seems.

Purchased the amp hoping to get the true 1100 RMS at 1 Ohm, using the proper 4 gauge wire recommended and 10 gauge speaker wire i had to crank the settings all the way to get anywhere near loud. I would not recommend getting this if you are intending on using it for anything below 4 ohms.

By Mike on March 18, 2016 Verified purchase

Excellent product 've had good results

I recommend this product to any buyer , good power handling and high reliability

Great bang for the price

Great bang for the price. Recommended for anyone looking for big bass. I use one in my setup pushing a MOFO-12. Slams in my Yukon Denali

CEA 2006 Certified. 110% quality. Raw power.

I have mine pushing an Incriminator Audio Death Penalty 15." The sub was also sent to PSI and upgraded with a 2500 rms rebuild. I have gain set at about 65% and I have the bass knob by the steering wheel. This amp rocks my 65lb sub and has never gotten hot or went into protect mode. Bright blue neons and sharp edges on clean cut aluminum. This amp is 5/5 in almost all categories. The 4g max wire inputs are compression style with an allen screw which is not the easiest of types to make a secure connection.

Sleek looking amplifier!

Unbeatable price for the power! The blue lights complement the design of the amp very nicely. Great buy!

great sound for a decent price!

Over all this amp has performed great I purchased about a month ago and I have it hooked to my digital audio 15 in. Sub in a sealed box. I will say I have had Hardee hitting amps but for the price and the sound you can't beat this amp.
