Product Overview
Build a four-channel car audio system around the Hifonics BRL800.4 BRUTUS amplifier, with rated power options for stereo or bridged operation. Its Super D Class design, variable electronic crossovers, and built-in bass control give you useful tools for shaping your system’s output.
A switchable illuminated logo can display audio levels in VU Meter mode, helping you make gain adjustments. The amplifier also features delayed turn-on and triple protection circuits.
Key Features & Benefits
- Four-channel operation: Use stereo or mono bridged operation, with power ratings listed for both configurations.
- Variable crossovers: Set high-pass and low-pass crossover points within the stated 40Hz–2KHz range.
- Built-in bass control: Adjust bass using the amplifier’s integrated tone control.
- VU Meter lighting: Switch the logo between constant blue light, audio-level display, or off.
- Delayed turn-on: Helps prevent unwanted startup and shutdown hisses or pops.
- Protection circuits: Built-in safeguards cover over/under voltage, short circuit, overcurrent, and thermal conditions.

The amplifier delivers 800 watts RMS through a Super D Class design. Its extruded aluminum heat sink supports thermal management, while Ultra-Fi MOSFETs are designed for high output power and thermal dissipation. Nickel-plated RCA jacks and multi-layer printed circuit boards are specified for efficient signal transfer and reduced electromagnetic interference.
Why Choose This Product?
The BRL800.4 offers four-channel output with listed ratings for 2-ohm and 4-ohm loads, plus mono bridged ratings at 4 ohms. That gives you several stated operating configurations to consider when planning your car audio system.
Its variable electronic crossovers, built-in bass control, and high-pass and low-pass adjustments provide system tuning options in one amplifier. The illuminated logo adds a functional display choice alongside its constant blue lighting or off setting.
Installation & Compatibility Notes
The amplifier is listed as universally compatible with standard 12V automotive electrical systems and source units accepting RCA audio inputs. Its power and ground terminals accept 2 AWG wire, and its speaker terminals accept 12 AWG wire.
Check the available mounting space against both listed measurements: overall dimensions are 26.7 × 18.7 × 9.2 cm, while item dimensions are 21.6 cm long, 14.6 cm wide, and 5.7 cm high. Confirm your system’s load and wiring requirements before installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the amplifier’s power ratings?
It is rated at 4 x 125 watts at 4 ohms, 4 x 200 watts at 2 ohms, and 2 x 400 watts when mono bridged at 4 ohms. The listed maximum power is 800 watts.
What does the VU Meter lighting show?
In VU Meter mode, the amplifier’s logo reflects audio levels and can assist with gain adjustment. You can also select constant blue lighting or turn the lighting off.
What connections and wire terminals does it use?
It has RCA inputs, 2 AWG power and ground terminals, and 12 AWG speaker terminals. The source unit must accept RCA audio inputs.
What should I check before choosing a mounting location?
