I've got the hifonics brutus 2006d amp, and I've blown a number of subs. My bassworx 12.4's are under warranty and I've just replaced them. Now all of a sudden they dont pound half as hard as the old subs did. I've noticed the subs excursion is relatively the same, but my trunk doesn't even rattle [when before everything in my car rattled]

Please help, this no bass thing is getting to my head.

everything wired the same after reinstall so you have the same load?

Yes, thats what is bothering me is I changed absolutely nothing. I've got 2 12 inch dual 4's, wired in parallel together. The amp puts out 2000w @ 1 ohm, both subs are getting 1000watts. I dont understand. Fuses are fine, grounds are fine, no leaks in the box, the EQ and everything are set the same.

Is there any other possibilities is my concern. I'd hate for the amp to be ruined, but how could it when the subs blew, not it?

yeah if by blew you mean the vc's melted then the amp should still be fine. unless something happened to it will in the car with nothing hooked up to it...

you had everything out and no possibilities of wires touching or anything like that right?

I dont know the technical words for it, but I know a lot of the times when to smoke subs, the amp will go into protect. It might because of the load that it gets from seized subs, but I'd put money on it that you screwed something inside of that guy.. Take it to a repair shop if posible.

possible the amp has some bad output devices... that would mean getting it bench tested and looked at by an electronic repair guy

test your final ohm with a DMM when off the amp not hooked up.See if it is 1ohm or other as sometimes things get mixed up.I have had a 8ohm sub that shows 3ohms before as ther wrong or not complete coil was used.another is the terminals are wrong I have had 5 PG cyclones like this in the past.From there I would say break in on the subs as they will get louder.

I don`t think it is outputs as the amp is designed to shut down if something fails inside
