Going .66 ohms on a Hifonics Brutus

[Colin - STAPUFT]

I actually have 3 of them, but am thinking about going to 2 just to see what happens.

Wiring possibilities are 1.33 ohms each (bleh for power) or .66 ohms each (blue smoke?). With impedance rise, I wonder if I would be ok? I know that there isn't a way to know unless I try, but I am curious if anyone here has run a Brutus at .66 daily -long term- without toasting it.

My $.02 is on no- but I thought I would ask here first.

i have run at .5 in a box with minimal rise...it works fine but the amps generally cut out if you clip or overdrive them. they turn on and play (06 model 1600w) but cut out when you get past a certain point

They are pretty tough and can take a lot of abuse contrary to belief..

low voltage is what smokes those puppies, they have protect for a reason.

The two I am contemplating doing this with are 08 models- 1600 watters. I do have a multimeter and an O-scope, so I can be careful with the levels. The real issue is electrical. Only one battery- and the motor is shot right now (whaaat?!?!) so this isn't being driven.

I am curious about this because I am thinking about going to 2 BIG Brutus amps later after I fix the motor. So perhaps 2 of their 2400 watt amps wired to .66 ohms. hehehe

I pretty much raped my brutus 1200 with my second battery. When I first installed my second battery behind my back seat it wasnt secured correctly and I ended up pulling the positive wire out of the ring terminal while having some fun in the snow last winter. So the battery was not being charged while playing the system 800w on the subs and 140w to the mids and highs. The amps eventually shut off and I thought I fucked both amps. Hook the wire back and tossed the batt on the charger and was good to go, still running the amps no problems. The battery was an spv70 and I ran the system off just one battery for like a week and a half to two weeks.

ive owned both the 2008d and the 2010d models and both can handle .5 ohms with out gettin hot. those things runs colder than a penguins pussy

i have an Bx 1605 that ran a D1 BTL wired in to .5 ohms daily with stock alt and upgraded battery under the hood.. all daily

Thanks for the info guys. .66 doesn't seem so scary now. Yeah, perhaps later-later I get 2 of their Biggest Brutus amps 2400s (maybe bigger by then) and wire them up and let them rip!

just make sure you have a beast of an electrical system 4k+watts at .66 is a lot of powaaaa
