Today's amp is the Hifonics Brutus Elite 1700.1D - Rated @ 1700watts RMS. I bought it specifically because i saw the CEA 2006 stamp on the side of it. I don't know the exact criteria for that testing, i just know it is supposed to mean the numbers are accurate. Either way, this amp isn't bad especially for the price.
the SMD D'Amore Engineering Amp Dyno AD-1 is about to set the standard in car audio for amplifier ratings. Does your 5000 watt amp really do 5000 watts? Whether it is car, pro, or home audio, the AD-1 AKA the Honey Badger, does not care.
Remember, the amp dyno isn't so much about your amplifier not making the power as it is WHY the amp isn't making its power. If your electrical system, or some other link in the chain is not working to its full potential, the amplifier will not either. The dyno shows any small change you make in REAL TIME.

one thing I can appreciate is Meade taking time out of his probably ridiculously busy life to actually get on here and communicate with fans and shut down haters gotta love it
its good to bullshit with the real fans. I like good people. As for the shit bag trolls, its fun to shut them down. They deserve it. :D
lmao
meade916 hey dude...I watching more n more of your videos... I see that SPL is your thing. Question, how do you deal with rattles in your car? You double layer your sound deadener? Add sound absorbing foam?
HEY MEADE916 I JUST GOT THIS AMP CAN YOU TELL ME HOW I CAN SET THE GAINS THE RIGH WAY I HAVE TWO KICKER CVR IN A KICKER BOX I DONT WANT TO MESS THE WOOFERS UP
+Bouge laal i use Second Skin Sound deadener bro :)
I love your Amp Test Tuesday's, can't believe you don't get more views on them!
i enjoy them too as it helps when people come in and say "i never heard of that amp" i have them watch the amp test tuesday video to see that im not bull sh*tin them
how bout i do what i want, when i want and either you will like it or you won't? while your at it, look at the other amp test tuesday video's. BTW: Send me a check, i will buy whatever you want me to. The $300 i spent on this amp is some peoples car payment so if it isn't enough for you, then you can send me money and i will do more expensive amps.
Stay down ! We do what we want WHEN we want.
Thank you for your time and energy you have put into these videos. I recently got addicted to bass and I want more. I am running a ts-w3001d2 that I happened to pick up for 80 with box and am running it underpowered with a kicker zx300.1. You saved me money by doing this test. Thank you a million.
Thanks for doing these amp tests Steve!

thanks so much for testing this amp you're the best!
Love watching this amp tuesday
thanks for the videos been a fan of urs for a while
I remember in the late 80’s when every one around me were using the punch 45 & the punch 150 I sold to get my Hifonics Cyclops (100x1) on (1) Kicker 15” I used in my Honda CRX that was so loud! It lasted for so many years, It was in the late 90’s when I sold to a friend (amp still working) and always regretted selling my Cyclops! The early Hifonics amps were so great in those days! I read all kinds of mixed reviews on HiFonics now they are cheap compared to those early days. Now in my late 40’s I still have audio with new Civic loaded up with Skar audio that I find is priced right and works perfectly for my needs! I’m older now so run (1) 10” Skar SVR DV2 in factory enclosure with a Skar RP 800 at 1 ohm doing more than to my satisfaction!#Beginnings#Hifonics#Skar#🔊
Thanks. I'd been asking for one. Even more important reason to make sure your electrical is right
I gotta say, when I first started watching your videos about 3-4 years ago I was thinking, "ehh just another guy with some big subs". But wow, I'm so impressed with some of the products and information that you put out. And the work you do is superb. Hope everything continues to go as well as it seems it does for you Steve.
Great reminder of what day it is...
Could you test the Hifonics BRX2000.1
Steve your the man!! You heard us and you paid attention. That is awesome thanks.
i bought this model brand new two years ago and have actually had luck running this at about .6 ohms since the beginning and has never got too warm or protected. good to know i got what i paid for, thanks for showing
Also thank you steve for testing hifonics amps
Props to you for testing amps that people would be able to afford to put into their system. I'm all for the higher end equipment, but most younger viewers couldn't afford them and some of your older viewers wouldn't want to take out a second on their house to build some of the systems you're rockin. Keep doin you Steve.
Thanks for all your hard work! I Like like these test videos.
Love amp test Tuesday's
Thanks Steve! I have wanted to see a Hifonics Brutus Elite amp test.
I love amp test Tuesday! Glad to see Hifonics is starting to make some decent products again. I used there Brutus amps and one 12 inch Atlas subwoofer and Atlas speakers all around in my car for a budget system and it doesn't sound to bad for 400 dollars. Thanks Steve for doing a test on Hifonics.
Love these videos Steve
Just recently started watching the amp test, and they are pretty good
i was suprised to see this amp do well! I guessed it would only fare about as well as the Crunch 1100 maxx amp you also tested because they are both from the same parent company, Maxxsonics.
im not too well up on any of this new hifonics stuff i stopped paying attention to them when zed audio stopped making them i used to love how clean the old school amps were the zeus , eagle , Taurus X , xxv etc nice to see a video of a later amp doing a lot of bang for its buck keep up the good work
The Hifonics “Cyclops” (100x1) I had on (1) Kicker 15” in a Honda CRX was one of my all time favorite growing up in late 80’s when Zed audio made them! Absolute beast of an early mono amp lasting over a decade and still working when I sold it and still regret that; what I’d give to still have it! I’d go through subs but old Cyclops just kept working no matter what!#HiFonics#🔊@Delta Media
I had an 'old school' Hifonics Hercules XI that was rated at 1500w at 1 ohm...but would always go into protect mode when used at 1 ohm while playing music. Even though it would not do what it was rated to do, that amp kicked ass at 2 ohms (with my xtant 10" dvc 4 ohm speaker) and never gave me any problems. This was so much power for a 1st Gen Toyota MR2, where the volume of the cabin was barely larger than the recommended size of the speaker enclosure. LOL!
I used the “Cyclops” (100x1) back then on (1) 15” Kicker sub back when Zed Audio made them and it was an indestructible beast of an early mono amp! Those were the days…..#HiFonics#Cyclops#🔊@Crazy 8s Drums
nice I love watching keep these coming Steve
nice, love watching these tests.
By the way I'm watching you from Guadalajara Mexico really like to see your videos Thank you very much
Man i was really hoping you'd do a hifonics amp cause i've been looking at them. Now i feel a hell of a lot better about getting one, thanks Steve.
Love amp test Tuesday
Nice run this week.
You Steve! Thanks for doing this amp, i've been waiting for it lol
Hey I really appreciate it that you got around to testing one of my amplifier the job gets 150 thanks you very much
Nice!
I have the 1700.1D non elite and it rox.
Thanks for the videos as always SMD.
oh also I was really impressed by the Hifonics' power output!, I didn't know they had specs like that. Cool video! I was wondering if the amp got hot at all during the test. Much respect Steve!!
yoooo steve thanks bro. I'm about to comp this right now. throwing to 10" alpine type X's in my z on this amp. nice. shits about to be dumpin. keep it up brotha!
Hey man I just wanted to thanks a lot for doing this video always wanted to see if it was a good amp I always use them in all my cars not only the Brutus but the Zeus too and Baltar great amps there thanxs alot
Informative as always.
two people were within 5 watts, one of those was within 2. If you don't wanna play, don't play. Every week someone gets something. For $300, on a 12 hour contest (not stretched out for a year like SOME people/manufacturers do), you gotta get it right or try again next week.
Thanks for testing Hifonics amps Steve! I have 5 of them and I think they are a great value for the price and now I know that my CES certified amps actually do what they are supposed to
Nice! there are alot of Hifonics users out there glad to see this vid.
I appreciate you putting you're knowledge out here for everyone its great to know before putting good hard earned cash out on some junk! You rock!
I really enjoy you doing the amp test Tuesday. It really helps by allowing us to know what is worth are money. Like to make a request a planet Audio amp?
I'v always liked Hifonics amps they are not over priced! glad to see they did well on the test!
im glad i got the Q1-2200D instead of a brutus amp cuz i was really thinkin bout it for the price
I bought a BRZ2400 Hifonics the other day, and messaged you that I'd send whatever I bought for you to test. Looks like you tested a hifonics coincidentally! :) Thanks for the review. This gives me hope that my amp is doing at least the 2kw rms @ 1 ohm I need.
big fan on hifonics, but am gladly surprised to see the amp pass the test. I actually have the previous 1700D running two hifonics square 12s dual 2ohm, so running 1/2ohm to the amp and have never seen protect mode even pushing them to the limits. videos are always great
loved it. thank you steve.
Nice now I am going to get one of those hifonics,
Wow, was unimpressed w/ the certified output, that was 500W short of rated. Nice to have the dynamic test to simulate speakers and music, that's what really matters
Most amps are
I've got two hifonic amps, each 1100 watts. I love this brand.
no prob!
Yeahhh, been waiting for a hifonics!
Thanks meade i miss the last tuesday amp test lol amp test tuesday is like a bad habbit
I've heard these amps clips before they do the rated output. I bought one...fried it. I loved it so much that I upgraded to the mb quart 2000.1 and the only speakers strong enough to handle the output is subs like sundown, skar, etc. High dollar subs only. I would know. I've blown 4 just by pushing the limit of the amp to the subs. No clipping. Just pure power!
Not too shabby. Worth getting this puppy
this was a good choice of amp. If you have time id love to see if my old amp the brz1700.1 or any of the BRZ hifonics amps are really hitting what is claimed (also 2006 cea compliant)
this is the most straight up, dollar for dollar real nuts amp test you can get.
I have a Hifonics BXi2610D 25 year Anniversary edition and it has only been amazing to me the ~4 years that I have had it. I just need to get rid of this cerwin vega I got.
Great Video Steve!
can you do a video that explains amps for dummies
Love your videos
Thank you for doing these test Steve.If you have time can we also see some amp gut shots?
I want to say thank you for taking the time to test a cheaper brand of amp for those of us that's trying to bass on a budget. Keep up the good work.
THANK YOU STEVE!! I'm buying the Brutus 2400 and have been wanting to know how they are.
best review thanks.. I just bought it
I like these video ! Some 4ch would be cool to see !
Thank you for testing a hifonics! I have the gladiator 1400 i feel a bit better about it now. Id say on a solid electrical at a legit 1 ohm ill get 1k out of it. Thanks again Steve, next amp i buy ill get one you've tested.
great vid!
click the link in the description bro, it will explain better then i can.
And that's why those amps are good for me. I don't do any testing with sweeps or test tones unless I'm setting gains. I want it to make my music louder and sound better.
I got a brutus 1200.1 love it and it doesnt get hot :)
love hifonics amps been running them since 1998
love the oldskool hifonics atlantis 2x175
run at 2ohms is 400rms
Any chance you can test the 35th anniversary edition of this amp? Its not cea-2006 compliant but supposed to be an improved version of the one in the video.
I have one of these and I can find very little info on them. They are really good amps but cant locate the specs anywhere
As allways, great vid Steve. :) liked that u tried the .8 ohm just for fun. Looks like a great bang for ur buck right there. I just bought a 2500wrms 1ohm (bf7501) for like $500 (everything is expencive in norway) :)
Yes hifonics amp, thank you Steve this is what I wanted to see for a long time. Now I feel confident on buying the Brutus that is cea compliant
Don't forget about mb quart! Same company...different name and cea certified. I had this same amp until I screwed up the wiring and fried the amp. Lol. Rolling with mb quart now and I am very satisfied!
Not bad!Thanks for the video!
I have clamped a bxi2610 a few times. You can't find them anywhere new. Wired at .7 I got 2495w on a 44hz burp. Keep in mind I was dealing with box rise. I have meter/clamped it 6 times. Always the same numbers. Played it hard for 15 min solid and it got warm. Just warm as in not hot at all. My electrical consists of 4 batts, 2 banks of caps, and 2 ho alts. I only did it to show people that the amp is good and dependable if it's got plenty of electrical.
Oh I had a Brutus 2400.1 back in 06 I really believe that they put out there advertise wattage.
I picked up a bnib 2013 BRX2400.1. For what I paid for it, I feel like I got a steal! As long as my electrical is good shape, it should perform well. Thanks Steve!
