Got a problem with my Hifonics Brutus bxi 2008d!! It wont turn up

[mac208x 10+ year member]

Ok so the amp was working fine etc, i have been playing it for a little etc, and than all of the sudden it just wont turn on. It is wired to a 12' orion hcca and the amp is putting out only 1300 watts at 2 ohms. when i turn on the ignition the amp turns on and dims till its off, no bass or anything, I just changed the fuse and fuse holder under my hood, my ground should be good i been using the same ground for the past month. IDK what could it be. Any ideas?

u check the fuses on the amp? might be blown? are all your wires securely tightened into the terminals?

There is no fuses on this amp, Are they on the inside? and yess i secure everything really good. Is there a chance i just screwed my amp up coz of the sub?

The remote signal could be bad.......

How long dose it stay lit up?

level, phase and bass are in the middle, sub sonic is at like 45-40, and low pass is at like 50

Well, once you get it up and running again, set the SS lower-30ish, low pass to near 80ish and NO bass boost.
