I'd would have to agree with the the second post. I had two of them that blew on me. I bought the first one from an
ebay store called eclectic mart. It blew when I first installed it which was bs because I set the thing up exactly how I had my old system set up and never had a problem before. I did what the instructions said and the next thing I know, the thing is smoking like a burnt hot dog. So, I email eclectic mart and they tell me to return it so that their distributor can test it and they will send me a new one. I agree and two weeks pass and I get a new one. This time it worked fine when I installed it. Loved the thing. Made my SSD's pound and I couldnt ask for more. About two weeks later, the stupid thing starts going into protect and then later the entire thing blew on me. I emailed Eclectic mart again and this time I asked for a refund. They came through and refunded the majority of my money. I ended up buying a Diamond 1200.1 from someone on this forum and it comes tomorrow. Hoping that this amp will be a little more reliable than the brutus. I understand that some people haven't had a single problem with them. If it were me, I wouldn't buy one. This is my experience and my $0.02.
