Brutus Series Amplifiers

When it is time for some serious power for your car audio system, Hifonics is the way to go. The Brutus Series Amplifiers are in line with the high power output that Hifonics is known for.

Incorporating Super D-Class circuitry allows for dedicated, efficient power for higher bass response without sacrificing sound pressure. The Ultra-Fi MOSFET outputs chosen for the Brutus Series are typically used for music production where high power, efficient cooling and minimal distortion are key. They allow these amps to produce high power with minimal distortion.

The included bass knob can allow you to adjust your bass to match any genre of music you listen to. The Brutus Series also has RCA outputs for daisy chaining multiple amps together for even more power. Designed to get loud, the Brutus Series Amplifiers are ideal for a pounding audio system!

Hifonics Brutus BRX1616.4

This amp has alot of power. The power rating is actually true unlike other brands that lie. 1600rms from two channels bridged is alot of power for mids. The amp over heats after 30 mins. My perfect remedy was an amp rack with 6 fans. It works great never overheats. I will never part with it

AMP HAS MORE THAN ENOUGH POWER THAN I WILL EVER NEED AND LOOKS GOOD ON THE CUSTOM RACK

Power of the GODS !!!

This amp is a monster... I had a crunch watt 1800 amp that stopped working, then a audioque 1000 watt amp. & let me tell you this amp blows both out of the water !! Extremely powerful and has a concert sound to the point to where you can feel the words. I have it powering 4 American Bass door speakers and whenever I drive by it turns heads with jus the mids and highs. One FLAW! It over heats.. crank it up to where you really hear it and it will shut off on you. I would recommend this as it's the best 4 channel amp I've ever had. But make sure you buy a couple fans as well.

Great sound, poor heat disipation

Since there are next to no reviews on this amp i am going to help out. This amp has plenty of power and sounds beautiful, it gave my stereo system great live concert sound that made me and others say WOW. But there was one big fall back. I was Running this amp in 3 channel mode, Orion xtr pro's fronts and rears on 2 channels at 2@ohms, and a infinity kappa 10" sub on the other 2 channels bridged @4 ohms. I live in central California where it tends to get hot often and this amp over heated consistently and went into protection after about 30 minutes of mid volume play and a little sooner at higher volumes. This amp needs a lot of air circulation and honestly a better cooling design; it got hot enough to burn your hand after a second of contact. All connections were verified and speaker resistance was verified as well using a multi meter, so that wasn't the issue. I have since returned this amp for a NVX JAD800.4, the JAD800.4 doesn't sound quite as good, but it never over heats, it barely gets above amb. temp. (also running in 3 channel mode).
