BRUTUS 25th ANNIVERSARY EDITION HIGH PERFORMANCE AMPLIFIERS As Hifonics celebrates it’s 25th anniversary of producing the finest high end car audio products available, we would like to thank you for your continued support. The BRUTUS BXi Series products have been designed to a very high level of performance, with features unavailable in any other product.
GENERAL INSTALLATION PROCEDURE System Design The success of any car stereo system relies on several factors, such as the system design, execution of the installation, and system setup. Please remember that any system is only as good as its weakest link. Please remember that higher power systems are not necessarily useful purely for high sound pressure levels, but also to establish a headroom capability, to reproduce musical peaks cleanly without distortion.

SETTING UP SYSTEMS AFTER INSTALLATION FOR BEST PERFORMANCE General: At this point you are ready to get more specific on the settings for your amplifier. Subsonic: This setting acts as a low frequency cut off for your system bass reproduction. The point that you set it at cuts off any frequencies from reproduction beyond this point. The 12 o’clock position is a great starting point.
TROUBLESHOOTING A SYSTEM The key to finding the problem in a misbehaving sound system is to isolate parts of that system in a logical fashion to track down the fault. Description of the Diagnostic system built into all HiFonics amplifiers The diagnostic system will shut down the amplifier, until reset by turning the head unit off, and back on. This state of affairs will be indicated by the front panel PROTECT LED lighting up under the following conditions: 1 - A sort circuit on the loudspeaker leads.
