•Brutus BXI Single-Channel Monoblock Super-D Class Car Amplifier
•RMS Power Rating:

◦2 ohms: 1100 watts x 1 chan.
◦1 ohm: 1600 watts x 1 chan.
•MOSFET Power supply
•Super D-Class amplifier relies on a super-speed enhanced chip-set to produce higher current capacities and more precise digital to analog conversions
•Wired remote bass level control included
•Power and Protection LED indicators
•Built-in system diagnostics offer protection of DC, Speaker short, terminal, and overload
•Tuned Bass EQ (0-10 dB bass boost at 45 Hz)
•Dampening factor: >250



You have a MONO AMPLIFIER

If you have 2 ohm subs (each) that means you are running the amp at 1600 WATTS..

JL AUDIO 10w3v3 as you mentioned is rated at 300 watts each.. that is only 1000 watts more then they are rated at...




Unless your subs are wired in series and that does not seem to be the case from your original post...

Notice also the dampening factor on the amp is 250 meaning control over your subwoofer is not as good as a let's say a JL Audio amplifier. A JL AUDIO XD600/1 with 600 Watts of power would have been a perfect match for your subs (needed 4 ohm subs)... Here are the specs for example...
Damping Factor @ 4 Ω >1000 / 50 Hz
Damping Factor @ 2 Ω >500 / 50 Hz
