Parker that takes a lot of humility to share ur mistakes with the whole internet. I respect u for that buddy.

Just a reminder that Hifonics went out of business around 2000. The name was purchased by Maxxsonics in 2001. So it's not the well known, high quality brand we remember. Nowadays it's the Hifonics name on generic audio gear. The current quality is hit and miss. Certain model amps and subs are pretty well-built, while others are not.

You're not alone on that boat. I inadvertently attached the power cable onto the wrong terminals on an amp once. It smoked without even trying to power it on. 😅 This boat carries many passengers. 😂

I bought two of the 15s about over a year ago, and i love em. Pushing them with a B2 Audio 7900 dialed down. I have nothing bad to say about this subs. Keep up the good work! Awesome videos!

I would take that little metal latch to a fabrication shop and have them weld some additional bracing to it so it would be impossible for it to bend in the future. 👍

“I don’t even know what happened” as he pushes 4,000watts rms 😂😂😂

That Alphard Audio ad gives me goosebumps 😎

Mistakes are just a part of the human experience 👍 I've made some errors in my bass journey as well 😆 A few months ago I punctured the surround on one of my 15s and almost cried 😆 You live, you learn brother 👍 Thanks for the videos 🔊🔊

Parker, this is why I subscribed to your channel, your honesty is refreshing bro.

Great video as usual Parker your passion comes through my man keep them coming!

Happens to the best of us Parker appreciate your transparency bro

LOVE all the stuff you kept in this video, the hatch latch struggle and disassemble, the sub frying.....all reminds me of myself haha. Great vids!

Thanks for another awesome video Parker. Been watching your videos since you started. Props 👏

I run a Hifonics Brutus 4 ch. on 4 Deaf Bonce Arnold's 6.5's and it does a great job. Thanks again for your videos!

Thanks very much for this. I was kicking the idea of a build with these . Now I am definitely doing it. 😁👍

Yesssirr keep em coming Parker!

Hell yeah my dad has a BRX2000.1D amplifier in his suv and its amazing. It was my amplifier I gave him for Christmas. Now about that subwoofer is amazing he has the newer 15" NVX VCW v3 subwoofer thats amazing sounding in sealed subwoofer boxes.

That's impressive that it made it, cool logo too.

Everyone makes a mistake now and then. Thank you for your honesty. Great review Parker!

This is why I watch your videos parker. Your straight up and we all make mistakes. I like knowing I can believe in your opinions

Overall, great job! I've certainly crossed wires before! Thank you for another great review! Keep bassin' on!

I waited for this that you look at the new Hifonics subs. So great.

Good job letting us know about the little mistake Parker! You're a humble guy and I'm glad to see you doing so well on your channel! I know you work your balls off & I'm glad it's starting to pay off. I always watch every one of your videos! They're awesome!

Hey Parker I absolutely love your videos you have taught me a lot and have saved me from many bad purchases I’ve been wanting to get a CT sounds OZONE subwoofer and I was wondering if you could test one out because no one on KZfaq has really tried them

You're exactly right there has been a lot of people that's done the same thing you have and I know I have one time getting in a rush you will make mistakes

Check check and check again, and we all still mess up. I really appreciate that you showed the mess up. You got my Sub bro. I helped my buddy fix his hatch lever release. It just breaks over time. He doesn't have a system.

Guaranteed every basshead has done it. Great videos

"Swapped ground with positive feeds" I did that with my power wires once, my amp popped all 4 fuses lol.glad it had them

Hey Parker you been shaking that Sequoia to Deaf(Bonce that is) lol. Great video my guy. BASS ON

i run two of the 15inch version for two years on a brx3000.1d in a 7 cu box tuned to 28 and im extremely happy

Hey man it's a learning curve/process and we ALL MUST GO THROUGH IT one way or another. 💯

Wow. Just found your page and this video after watching the small amp Vs big sub video.. and gotta say.. mad props to you for showing us the mistake!! 🎉very cool info and def a new fan! Thanks 🎉

In 2007 I had 4 of the Brutus 12s walled in a ford ranger 🤘🏼

Im running two BAMF's 15's with a Brutus 2 channel. Sealed boxes in a 2005 Yukon. It hits pretty good for sure.

Thanks bro. I had the Brutus 12 from 2000s and it had kevlar woofer and hit real nice. Just had funky blue lights under the woofer. But same price as the ones today

No ones perfect bro we all make mistakes 😆

I have the 15 inch duel 4. Great sub sounds great even in prefab box! The terminals will fit 8 gage awg and the Ferrell no problems. Those 12 inch subs are the same terminals

Hey a little tip with you rear hatch my blazer did the same thing and i tied a peace of spiderwire fishing line 80lb test to the lever and ran it up the hatch so if it messed up i could just pull the fishing string and it would open.

You're cool as hell for that bro! Definitely helping to restore my faith in humanity. Keep doing what you're doing homie, I got mad respect for you

Wow, I didn’t figure it had very much left in it after the db testing! What a hoss!

I'm pretty happy with my single 10" JL that came in a box from the store and I'm pushing it with an old second hand Alpine monoblock 500 something in my dodge dakota pickup.

Love your commentary bass head!! Can you please do a product review on the crescendo BC 5500. I know it’s a little pricey at $1700 but I just recently got one used and I really want to know your opinion.

I run 2 of these at around 1,400 rms daily and never had a problem with them. They are very good for the price and they get down. Nothing but pleased with them

and yea i feel your pain for the trunk not opening :( ... my little sound car i call it, "cobalt" i used to be able to push the " Trunk open button" to open but now that dont work, and also when i use my trunk its rough getting the key to turn now... i figure cause to much Banging :( and bumping lol also my trunk lid is a full 3 inches to the right so theres a big 2 inch gap on the left side lol love the content parker as always much love from Flint Mi

I have a set of 4 of these in the 8" flavor. They absolutely pound and take 3000k rms from my Taramp smart 3k all day. Great subs!

I had my trunk latch fail on me once, it was at a car show and could display my setup. And ended up having to cut into the tailgate to get it opened and fixed. Now I have a secret wire to open in emergencies. Has saved me many times

That was extremely impressive from Hifonics!

I got 1 12 inverted with matching Brutus 2000 watt amp hits so hard💯💯💯

yea that was awesome owning upo to the mistake of the terminals already loved you before but that reinforced my love for your content

@0:28 Ut oh! This is going to be one of those interesting reviews! Now, time for me to watch the rest!

Ay shit happens. Respect for keeping it in the video and eating the cost for another sub and keeping the review. Real recognize real. 😎🤘

Hey bro I like the way you do things . You do the raw.

Just curious.. how good are the older Orion XTR pro 12" subs? Btw awesome channel!

hey parker, is that a test tone app? if so let me know what it is. thumbs up on the sub, amazing.

Your good parker. People was a bit rough on you for the HYANKA 15 video. All in all you do a great job.

If u look above the push terminals it looks like u could direct connect to the leads with a ring connecter

Good vid Parker :) don’t feel bad about your mistake with the wiring. We are all human and these things happen.

Free air compared too sub in box ain’t the same right? The sub had some back pressure so it probably saved the sub

Parker, route your back hatch cable so you can pull it with the panel on. Or add something to it so it can pull it so you dont have to keep doing that.

You're human like us. No big deal

Looking like the Rockville Punisher edged it out at a similar price. My buddy ran a Hifonics on an 18" Fi in a Camaro back in the day and it got stupid low and loud.

Those things happen. I took my sweet time hooking up my 4 channel and monoblock. Because Orion XTR750.4 has the pos & ground reversed from what everyone else does for the most part. I made the mistake of having them switched. Went thru quite a few 40amo fuses till I found the problem. Had thought my bus bar was the problem as the positive and ground are on the same bar, just separated by a little bit of plastic, but nope. I felr pretty noobish. But in fairless, I waited till my daughter became a teenager before purchasing another system. That's 13 years from when I was in competitions and custom installing systems for all my friends and their friends and so on.

I have a pair of the brutus 8s they sound really good and get down for the $80/each i paid for them but they deffinatly cant take the 600rms they are rated at more like 400rms

I like that he kept the mistake in, way to keep 💯

Hifonics monoblocks are amazing. Eventhough power hungry and shy of rated rms power, built like tanks and delivers nice Sq before maxxsonic bought em out.

I remember having the square Brutus 12’s and they slammed!

I dont remember model numbers but im running 2 hifonics brutus square 12" with a 1200 watt hifonics brutus 35th anniversary amp

Ive been going back in your older videos & its funny how that trunk of yours keeps giving you fits! 😂 But accidents happen to by the way buddy. Sorry bout the sub. 🤘🏻

The 2001-2007 Toyota sequoias have a VERY VERY common problem with the rear hatch. They don’t open on all the cars. So to fix this you need to go online and buy the bypass kit. Look it up on KZfaq. It’s a simple peace that you install and makes it so you can open your door every time. And lock it. Hope this helps

Full respect!

How about adding a servo to open rear hatch ? Also I'd just add a pull cable that came through the hatch cover

These are bangers. I have had 2 12s in 3k for about 6 months

I would tie a pull string from the latch out the panel and leave it dangling in the trunk interior so atleast you don’t have to tear it all apart while being locked out

Hey parker put both in the skar box to see how much DB u can get with a cheap 2 12” set up

That is pretty badass at that price point. Perfect for someone who just wants some beat. Not going to win any competition, but it did it's job.

Parker, Ive been installing car audio (personal and friends) for over 30 years and did the same thing recently. We all do stupid things occasionally.

Looks very similar to the g2 genesys subs. Just a smaller motor on it. Maybe a genesys look with leviathan motor? I'm sure it comes from the same buildhouse. They make alot of diff subs for several known companies.

Hey Parker, could you do a video on your audio multimeter that shows watts and what not, I want to add one to my system but I don’t know where to start or what to even buy

hey, could you make a beginners kinda guide on how to tune amps?

Parker can you do a review on the new Colossus u 15? Please.

I'm not sure if this will work but you can try this. Use some J-B weld to stiffen up that piece of metal to keep your back door from being broken and having to replace the whole latch again!

How about trying those ampere audio rev 3.0 or 4.0 subs. Not a lot of videos on them at all

Aye bro shit happens i appreciate the fact that u showed this lik u said u could've not shown that no one is perfect 💯 👌🏾

The test wasn't how you do the other test cuz you had the speaker just pretty much inverted in the box. So it had the pressure from the box so essentially it was in the Box just inverted even though no screws in it but it still creates that pressure and that doesn't make the test is valid,that being said it's still lasted to 6 minutes at the RMS wattage which was impressive

Will you ever test the soundstream 12s even tho same plant makes power acoustik just curious before I buy lol

You should ask Alphard to send you the Machete DSP! And do a review for us!

you should do a test on a resilient sounds gold 12! i run mine on a small ct sounds 700.1D and it is amazing

Parker do u watch other KZfaq channels? Hifi vector did a full video on a set of these subs.and they performed very well on a smart 3k I think he did 148 in a small SUV.

I hooked up a Salt 200.4 reversed 😬 thank goodness the fuse popped! Team fuse all say! 🤣

Hey Parker! We're glad the Brutus Sub got your stamp of approval. How about we send you a HEW Subwoofer and a new Colossus Pro Amplifier to review?

Keep ur old 1 take some jb weld coat the whole thing in a thin layer to reinforce it goes from soft as aluminum to hard as steel

Can you do a comparison between this sub and DB 252 D1 which is a comparable sub.

Can we get a test on how loud you can get between 2 subs in there own ported boxes vs sharing a box

Great video Parker is a stand up guy for letting us know about his mistake. We are all human. By the way have you tested the 12 Rockville k-9 ?

HiFonics went downhill when they went away from the Zed Audio and went to Maxxsonics. Having said that, generally speaking, HiFonics is hit or miss depending on which line you choose. Typically, their Brutus line is decent while their Zeus line is lower quality.

You should do a build with 8 of those.

I just hooked speakers to my 4 channel and mixed up the front left and rights to the amp connections❗☹️ and I even had it wrote down right in front of me, I have color coded heat shrink and still messed it up ❗

Maybe do a video of doing a popper for The trunk off a key fab, that would be a fun one

thats okay i just blew up a couple thousand dollar AC compressor the because i was in a rush and wired it wrong, and ive been doing this for 10 years! Its always a good idea to slow down and double, triple check your work.

We all make mistakes man it's all love parker
