dont do it!!! i absolutely positively hated my brutus amp. I really dont think they do rated power and they will overheat on you.

See if u can find a Rockford T1500 or even better T2000 or something along those lines.

I can get u a Rockford T2000 for 405 plus shipping.

But for cheap power...........idk really.....i'd suggest searching the classifieds.

i've had 3-4 brutus amps in my days never had a problem with not a one..never had one "over heat" either... i ran 2 d4 L7's off one in hs also..so if thats what u want do it..it will be a good amp..ALSO brutus's do rated power theres been bench tests to prove so...thats just people hating on a budget brand like normal

ehh, to each his own.

My brutus must have been a defect then. At 2 ohms i was gettin "900rms". took that amp off for a sec and hooked up a friends kicker zx750.1 and my L7 seemed to wake up. But its whatever, i'm not buyin' it.

Look into cadence amps OP.

maybe it was ur electrical also? i dont know bro ive never had a single problem with one.. ive been buying them for over...7-8 years now. OP: theres a lot of budget amps in the buget of a brutus and power ranges they put out..just look around

could have been. Which would make em power hungry amps. I know I loved my Cadence Dakota in comparison.

I have never had a problem with a Brutus either, even running a 1/2 ohm every day, as long as the amp has enough voltage to do what it does. Also, **** wangs for the price point.

Another good cheap choice is the AP line of Audiopipes, the Lanzar OPTI series, and the new Autotek Mean Machines.

ive had a brutuz 1600 watts too it bumbed but dimmed the sh1t out of my ride. but i believe it was my wiring for sure runned down at 1ohm. there good amps though

Basically, not the worst amp u could buy, but very power hungry. Make sure ur electrical is on point.

Ive always had excellent luck with Memphis amps. I had my Memphis mcd1100 hooked to 2 kicker comp vrs and it was ridiculously loud. It was in a prefab box too!
