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!

Subwoofer channel bad in first 2 weeks

Sub channel driving two 4 ohm 10 in RE Audio 10's went bad in less than 2 weeks!!! Sonic quickly replaced but poor woofers took a beating at full 35VDC from the bad channel. Might look to a different amp. It's nice looking but that leaves bad taste in my mouth.

Still knockin!

Been a little over a year and a half still knockin, this amp if installed right will give you a lot of smiles! Neighbors.... not so much. Its been in my 78 c10 about 11/2 now pushing kicker 6×9 ks and kicker 3 1/2 is upfront. In a custom box kicker 6 1/2 ks components w/an extra set of kicker tweeters. Kenwood unit provides the source and originally kicker 10" L7 bought right here! The amp has been extremely reliable, this amp replaced a JL (couldn't stay cool)this amp..... a cucumber! Even on a hot day in S.E.Texas

Great Value

Yanked all the factory Blose speakers and amp out of my c6 vette and installed all Kicker Speakers and subs. Powered them with this Hifonics 5 channel. System is extremely loud and the sub channel plays at 1 ohm, wayyyy more power than I need. Not a daily driver but stands tall after a year.
