A: I originally had this paired with one Kicker Comp R 12 at 2 ohms. That was way too powerful for the Comp R because it kept blowing the sub despite Best Buy Geek Squad tech actually taking the time to ensure the output was matched and accurate to what that one Comp R 12 was supposed to be able to handle. It was explained to me that the blowing was likely due to this amp actually being more powerful than it's reported and not necessarily due to the Comp R 12 not being able to handle what it's supposed to. I recently upgraded to the Kicker Comp VX 12. Wow. I've got a bass knob installed. The bass know was previously turned all the way up when the Kicker Comp R was paired with this amp, and the gain on the amp was turned down lower to prevent the Comp R 12 from blowing. It still sounded good, but I figured I wanted to get more out of the amp by going with a better sub. The Kicker Comp VX 12 hits so much deeper and louder paired with this amp at 1 ohm (it's 1 ohm stable which is a huge deal!), AND that's wit the bass knob turned down to about 25% I want to give this sub some time to break in and am gradually turning up the bass knob. Summary is that this is perfect to pair with one Kicker Comp VX 12 with it wired at 1 ohm. I promise you won't regret it. Matthew 7:12

Kicker 800.1 Review
This amp was purchased to power my JL 10" subwoofers. They are wired to 2 ohms, and this amplifier is a perfect match. I have abused this amp every day for over one month, and it rarely gets hot. It is super small, so it can be mounted almost anywhere. I am blown away by the sound produced by such a small unit. If you are on the fence about buying, I can assure you that you won't regret it.

Great Small Amp!
Great small amplifier. I am using this Kicker 800.1 to power 2 Kicker 12" CompVR 4ohms Subwoofers in a sealed 1.25 cubic feet box and it BOOMS great. I have my 2 subs wired in a parallel connection to make it a 2ohm load and I am sure this cxa amp is putting out what it states - 2ohms 600watts rms. One small problem I had the first week of using this amp was it would go into protect mode. I looked at my power/ground wires and agu fuse and they looked okay. I doubled checked my agu fuse again and found the problem. It was not blown but the connection inside this fuse was loose so it did not give this amp the current/voltage it needed to power up so that is why it would go into protect mode. I switched to MANL fuse instead and now I have no more problems whatsoever anymore. I am happy with this purchase!

Great Buy! Powerful!
Very compact! I have this installed in my 2018 Honda Accord and it is mounted to the bottom of my rear deck as I didn't want it on my back seat. This is pushing a 12" Kicker CompVX sub (previously a 12" CompR) and it hits hard, actually more bass than I intended to get. I had to lower my bass level. Definitely recommend especially if you can get it on sale.
