Hifonic Brutus BRX1100.1D Install

A couple weeks ago I received my Hifonics Brutus BRX1100 super D class amplifier from Amazon:

Because I already ran my RCA and power wires for the amp, I'll be showing how I went about mounting , and connecting the amp.

To start off I had to connect the power wire to the positive terminal on my battery. I also had to cut out a section of my positive terminal cover to feed the wire through (below).

(The terminal cover isn't needed, but I chose to keep it)

I decided to mount the amp on my backseat. So I pulled the wires up from under the seat and fed them under the carpet on the back of the seat. To give it a cleaner look I cut holes in carpet on the back of the seat and ran the wires through there and into the amp.

The next and definitely one of the most important steps is connecting the ground wire. The ground wire needs to be connected DIRECTLY to metal. Which means you either need to find a spot on the chassis without any paint, or sand off the paint around a bolt in order to get the best connection. I used the seat mounting bracket in my car.

Here's a photo of the wires coming through the carpet with the amp screwed to the seat (I used self tapping screws).

Since my amp came with a remote bass control, I had to run the cable for that down the middle of my car. In order to remove the center console, there are two screws inside the center console and one more that is accessible only after you remove the E-Brake boot.

(You can see how I ran the wire in this picture)

(You can see the wire ran from the middle in this picture)

I'll be following this post up with a post on how I tuned the amp.
