What to do if Hifonics Brutus BXi1206D system does not turn on?
If your Hifonics Car Amplifier system isn't turning on, begin by inspecting all fuses and connections. Also, measure the +12 volt and remote turn on voltages at the amplifier terminals.
Why are the fuses blowing in my Hifonics Brutus BXi1206D?
If the fuses are blowing in your Hifonics Car Amplifier, it could be due to using loudspeaker impedances below the recommended minimums or a short on the main +12 volt cable. Check these potential causes. It is also possible that the amplifier itself is faulty.
How to stop Hifonics Brutus BXi1206D Car Amplifier heatsink from overheating?
If your Hifonics Car Amplifier's heatsink is overheating, it may be due to inadequate cooling. Try relocating the amplifier to provide better airflow. It could also be caused by driving high power levels into low impedances. In that case, reduce the volume or ensure the loudspeaker impedance meets the recommended specifications.
Why does my Hifonics Brutus BXi1206D Car Amplifier have low output power?
If your Hifonics Car Amplifier has low output power, first check that the level controls have been properly set. Then, ensure that the battery voltage at the amplifier's terminals is at least 11 volts. Also, inspect all +12 volt and ground connections.
How to eliminate engine noise in Hifonics Car Amplifier?
If you're hearing a ticking or whine that changes with the engine RPM in your Hifonics Car Amplifier, relocate the RCA cables, as they may be picking up radiation from a fuel pump or distributor. Also, check that the head unit ground is connected directly to the vehicle chassis and that the head unit has a clean +12 volt supply directly from the battery.
How to reduce white noise in Hifonics Brutus BXi1206D Car Amplifier?
High levels of white noise in your Hifonics Car Amplifier can be caused by amplifier level controls turned up too high. Readjust them according to the procedures in section 'Setting up systems after installation for best performance'. The noise may also come from a noisy head unit. To check this, unplug the amplifier input RCA cables; if the hiss reduces, the source unit is at fault.
What to do if Hifonics Brutus BXi1206D goes into diagnostic mode?
If your Hifonics Car Amplifier goes into diagnostic mode, disconnect all RCA and speaker leads, while keeping +12 volt, power ground and remote leads connected. Turn the amplifier back on, and if the diagnostic LED lights, the amplifier has an internal fault. Then, plug the RCA cables back, and reset the amplifier. Connect the speakers, one at a time, and if one of speaker or its wiring is faulty, it will activate the diagnostic system.
How to fix a constant whine in Hifonics Brutus BXi1206D Car Amplifier?
A constant whine in your Hifonics Car Amplifier can be caused by some kind of instability, causing oscillations in the system. Check all connections, especially for good grounds. Also, make sure that no speaker leads are shorting to exposed metal on the vehicle chassis, and check that these are good, in particular the shield connections.
