I'm thinkinf about buying a Hifonics Brutus. When you get it in could u do pros and cons of it? I haven't heard too many bad things about it.

My experience with the Brutus:

Pros - produces very close to rated power, very stable, has operated at a .5ohm load for a quick minute without blowing, amp protect works very well when a speaker blows or if there are wiring issues.

Cons - induces slight distortion around 1500+ watts rms during operation, fins are sharp (cut myself once), angled 2awg +/- input makes things a little tricky, bass knob cuts the high pass at 30hz.

Just my 2c. :]

Thanks harry. So would u recommend running without the bass knob? I listen to alot of rap and quite a bit hits below 30hz

Thanks man I have my subs wired down to 2 ohm and the BRZ1700.1 (what I was looking at buying) is 1200 rms at 2 ohm. Will this make it distorted since it is a 1700 watt amp?

I personally am a fan of bass knobs, but in this case I threw it back in the box and use the settings on my receiver now. Once you get the amp installed I would play around with the bass knob plugged in and not plugged in to find your preference.

1200 watts leaves plenty of headroom on that amp, there shouldn't be any distortion at that level so long as your input voltage is set correctly.

[SonicHD]

In fact... for 1200 watts of subwoofer power I would absolutely recommend the brz1700 over the 1200.

Jezzz 175 fuse is kind big. That hifonics isn't gonna put out 2000 rms

[LoudNLow931]

If you still like the idea of a bass knob I would pick up once of these.

Another con is the mounting is cheap ass plastic, and breaks when your screw it down.

It needs a 160 amp so I went a little bigger is all. Running 1/0 kicker power throughout vehicle
