Customer Ratings & Reviews

For my Jeep Grand Cherokee I decided to go with a full kicker sound system: 2 12" Kicker CompRs in Kicker Box Kicker CXA1200.1 amp with bass knob Kicker KS 6x9 components up front Kicker KS 6.5 coaxials in the back For the inputs I bypassed using a LOC/DSP and instead used Kicker's speaker wire to RCA adaptors (which Best Buy no longer sells for some reason) from the stock head-unit to allow for a low-distortion high-level input that the amp accepts. From there I used a DMM to gain match the subs for 1000RMS at 2OHM. Simple Review: THIS!....SYSTEM!.....SLAMS! SUBS: The bass is not only LOUD but DEEP with high clarity. The low notes shake everything in my car to the point that I've tried to use foam to soften the blow (useless). On the right songs it can sound like a bomb is going off directly in your ear and the box/sub combo digs deep enough to sound good on almost all music. Youtube "Kicker CompR 12 inch Subs (2021)" and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about in action. Crazy part is I feel like these subs could take even more power if I wanted them to. AMP: I've mainly ran Hifonics amps in the past, even ones rated for more power, and NONE of them have worked as well as the Kicker CXA1200.1. This amp delivers clean consistent power no matter the situation and barely gets warm to the touch. The amp also cuts on as soon as it senses a signal from the radio making installation that much easier. Even with the Start/Stop technology that the Jeep uses the system keeps pumping out sound at red lights. The amp is highly efficient too as I have not noticed any headlight dimming when the bass hits which is impressive considering how small the amp is. SPEAKERS: The KS series of speakers are a definite upgrade from my stock speakers. They really shine in both the bass and tweeter areas. The tweeters are crisp and provide high definition compared to my stock speakers. The bass notes on the woofer sound cleaner and less exaggerated leading to a higher clarity. The mids sound ok but I feel like these speakers could really use an amp to reach their true potential. Overall they blend well with the subs set-up which creates a unique Kicker sound compared to stock. Overall, you can't go wrong with this Kicker set-up. The clarity is great and the bass response is AMAZING. I'm actually upset when my hour long commute ends cus one more song couldn't hurt and everything else feels like a downgrade once I step out the car.

When I bought this I had great expectations, however, when it was installed it was set at low gain, under half, as I had new subs and they hadn't been through their break in period but HOLY GOD ALMIGHTY this thing has some serious power! Even keeping the volume at 10 or less and the bass set to -3 on the stereo it still shook the mirror and could hear it about 100ft away. Today I tried the volume at 20 (out of 40) and OMG it started to move my hair and seriously ticked off my wife! Which means it hits hard! I'm running 2 audiopipe quad stack 12s and I'm anxious to crank it up! Hope the back window holds!

This amp produces absolute clarity with almost no effort. I’ve never been a kicker person, but I thought I would give them a shot. I’ve always liked my Fosgate punch, but this kicker system paired with the 12 inch DVC puts out an incredible amount of base that is just the right amount for my single Cat trip.

Powerful!! Never gets hot!! Very sharp and modern design! Easy to use, very powerful bass and the prote t mode is SPOT ON!! Definitely recommend!

This Kicker amplifier is one of the best amps I have ever bought. Along with the 12” Kicker woofers my sound system is outstanding.

Great amp. Lots of power. Actually blew out my BOSS speakers which is ok because now I have Kickers. All good!

Well made products techs in store knowledgeable great price store made buying easy

Great amplifier, used it for my (2) 12 kicker compvrs and they BUMP, as long as you wire it correctly it is great, reliable and powerful, great purchase, if i got another amp i would go for the cx1800

Excellent class D amp, especially for the price. The RMS at two ohms is actually higher than they claim. I had no complaints. The quality was great. Size is amazing. Runs 2 JL audio 10w3v3 with no issues.

I have this amp with the Dual 12inch kicker Comp R and 4AWG kicker amp cables and it slaps hard asf

Product exceeded my expectations. Not only was the product exactly what I was looking for to push 2 12’s , the delivery was on time and driver took care to hide my box out of plain sight so it wouldn’t get stolen!

I did my research and I am so happy that I bought the Kicker duel 12 enclosures, Kicker 1200 amplifier and the Kicker wires on 2/12/2021( got everything that match so won't have no problems). I made a reservation on 2/26/2021 to install my sound system at Bestbuy, I talked to Justin the tech before my reservation and he thank me for that. I explain what I want and how I want it done and then I got his professional opinion and everything went smooth. I'm so happy with my sound system( I got the 4-year warranty as well so I won't have no problems). It pays off to have a professional Tech. to do the job right, thank you Best Buy and Justin.

This is the 2nd 1200 watt kicker mono amp ive owned. The 1st was in my 4 runner and this one in my Tahoe on 2 kicker comp r 12s. It lasted i had it 3 years and it was still working when i sold it. So i got the exact same set up.

Works great with the comp r 12”s i got sound amazing.

Tgis was installed in a 2021 F250 replacing the BO garbage ot comes with. With new kicker speakers this thing rocks!!!!

Very very satisfied sounds amazing would definitely recommend this priduct

I can’t believe how much power this little Amp puts out incredible
