Installed it in my SUV with a 12 and it’s perfect for what I need. This amp is good enough to get you noticed while pulling up in your drive way but not loud enough to hear you a block or two away. When inside tho it feels leggit and it works for me. Great for the price tbh and oh the lights are cool

The amp is amazing it took me a couple weeks to figure out the gain and bass boost but now it's the best amp I ever had and the bass quality is so clean and very powerful amp everyone hear me coming and I love it thank you!!!!

Great deal from Amazon. Med to large class d amp. Gets a bit warmish. 4 gauge power and ground. Don't expect more than 900 watts and think it won't blow that 80 amp fuse. So far it is living up to every bit of 700+ watts @1.3-2ohm wired series/parallel on 3 Recoil 8in 2ohm dvc subs.

Budget meets power. Not exactly 3000rms but huge power.

300 dollars for this amount of clean sounding power is certainly a great deal. Amp does get hot, although I run it for at least an hour straight on 90 degree weather with my gain just a bit over matching my head unit. This needs power. 2AWG or 0 g international is a must and it needs at least a 200 a
mp fuse just after the battery (for 1 ohm load). I have a 300 amp alternator with the proper big 3 upgrade and it absolutely slams. Dual yellow optima batteries in series. Should be about perfect for this monster. You need well built subs to reach full potential. Set it up correctly. Use large decent quality wiring and the big 3 upgrade. Having a better alternator and more than 1 battery will help. SET YOUR GAIN RIGHT IT IS NOT A VLUME KNOB. Find out your rms watts out of your receiver. My Kenwood is 2 volts rca out. I usually draw out the gain knob and measure lines to find what is close to matching since I do not have any equipment from Steve Meade. Gain can commonly be between 1/2 and 2/3rds tops. For best quality don't bass boost. Once the amp reaches full output it overrides it anyway, not worth clipping. Other nice features are phase shift, center frequency, wavelength adjustment along with the more standard hpf and lpf. You don't see these on other budget amplifiers. I am assuming the efficiency is fair. Never blew a 200 amp fuse. This Brutus 3016.1 D is paired up with my CT Sounds Exo 15 D2 wired to 1 ohm. This sub is rated at 2500 RMS 5000 watt peak, and believe me... it pounds. At least a 3 inch excursion and I have not had a mechanical bottom even with frequencies between 25-35 hertz. Absolutely worth every penny. The sub-woofer weighs 75 pounds. I fit these in a tight spaced convertible trunk and I've already had police complaints. This is the biggest mono-block class D amp Hifonics makes currently with the exception of the Elite and Goliath etc. It does get hot, but it's on the brink of insanity. It's not exactly a certified 3000 watts RMS, but I bet it'll pass a Dynamic burst test with good voltage. Get this amp. Thumbs up! Update. I purchased this in 2016. it is almost 2023. I sent it to hell and back and then again. Although the blue led lights stopped working this thing still sounds like I just bought it. Non stop hearing loss and loosening objects on vehicle. Verified heard from 3 or 4 blocks away. Sounds incredible in my Mountaineer aka ford explorer. Flexes the darn roof like a wave pool. Amazing for under 300 dollars.

You HAVE to wire it correctly ya amateurs

I’ve had the Brutus 3016.1 for roughly 3 years, problem free. It makes my 15” RF P2’s pound so hard you can feel it vibrate your skin. It’s rattled the rear lights loose on my SUV. The rear view mirror is now just for looks because it rattles out of adjustment within seconds of positioning it. Based
on a large amount of the less than stellar reviews that I’ve seen, I’m lead to believe they’re not installing it properly. Every complaint about it going into protect mode tells me that they weren’t using a proper ground. If you aren’t using AT LEAST 2ga wiring, you haven’t earned the right to complain. Period. If you feed this amp proper power and proper ground, you won’t have any issues. That being said, it is not reaching 3,000 watts. With the gain set to the half way point, and LPF all the way up, using a 40hz test tone, it hit 2200 watts at 1ohm on the amp dyno. Even still, to get 2200 watts out of a Rockford fosgate amp, you’re going to pay $1,500. All in all, it’s a nice amp at a nice price, it’s cost per watt is very low versus most name brand amps. If you power and ground it with a minimum of 2ga wiring you won’t have issues and your ride will set off car alarms within a 50 yard radius.

As somebody who has used high phonics amplifiers for 30+ years. This amplifier without fail is just as good if not better than the older models. It is powerful, gives deep, rich base, and never fails to surprise you. I am proud to be another owner of another hiphonics amp.

It sounds good but the power output is far below what’s advertised, the quality of the signal seems great buttttt it puts out like 60% of the power it’s advertised to put out, go YouTube search this model before buying

I bought this undersized amp to pair with a much more powerful sub basically so I could crank it all the way and not worry about blowing it. Worked out perfectly. Gives a 2000w sub a 800-900w workout without fail, all the way up, for hours at a time. I’m a travel nurse and I drive for long periods.
