Opinions on Hifonics Brutus Amps

[groove269 10+ year member]

I am looking to purchase an amp that will push a bit over 1000w @ 2ohms...i came across hifonics brutus BXI 1608D....will that be sufficient enough to push the dual kicker 12" subs?

Is that a good amp or should i look for something else?

Yes that is a good choice for the money

there is better out there, but you'll pay at least 50% more, it's up to you.

There is a thread on the brutus amps every f*cking day.

yes, they are good amps for the $$.

Will i expect to replace them in a year or so?

I just blew my Brutus bxi608 yesterday and don't know why but it was only a month old. Class A/B mono amp. sounded pretty good and hope it was just a dud. More importantly, I hope to find out if there is another problem in my system or set up that caused it's demise.

I had a Brutus 1206d that I beat the crap out of every day for 2 years, And I never

had a problem. I would run Hifoincs any day of the week

have you seen the search thing at the top of the page, why come on the forum if your going to be too lazy to look around

Yes the Brutus line is an excellent line, well made, slightly overrated but power houses and superb for the money.

I had a brutus 2000 and it was a decent amp. I never had any problems with it.

i dont think anyone here would say hifonics are UNDERrated

i would definitely say that most are over rated but even still.. the price cannot be beat
