- Key Specs
- Continuous Watts x Channel @ Ohms: 600 x 1
- Maximum Watts x Channel @ Ohms: 1200W x 1 @ 2 ohms (This is the maximum load the speaker, subwoofer or amp can drive.)
- Amplifier Class: D (An amplifier's mode of operation, specifically the conditions in which its electrical current flows for the duration of an audio signal, determines its class. Each class has its strengths and weaknesses when it comes to power efficiency, levels of crossover distortion, and overall sound quality.)
- Number Of Channels: 1
- Bass Boost: Variable (Circuitry that boosts the bass response of the amplifier, improving audio reproduction enhancing the sound of low frequencies. Fixed boost means the level of bass response is preset, whereas variable boost allows the user to make adjustments.)
- Bridgeable: false (Bridging an amplifier increases the power it supplies to the speaker(s).)
- Low-Pass Crossover: Variable (Devices with this function allow only audio frequencies below a chosen cut-off frequency to pass through to a speaker or sound system. A device may have a cut-off frequency predetermined by its manufacturer (fixed), multiple cut-off frequency options to choose from (selectable), or have the capability for the frequency to be configured by the user (variable).)
- High-Pass Crossover: Variable (Devices with this function allow only audio frequencies above a chosen cut-off frequency to pass through to a speaker or sound system. A device may have a cut-off frequency predetermined by its manufacturer (fixed), multiple cut-off frequency options to choose from (selectable), or have the capability for the frequency to be configured by the user (variable).)
- Speaker-Level Inputs: true (Also referred to as high-level inputs. Enables the amplifier to receive a sound signal from another device that does not have RCA, or low-level, inputs.)

A: good thing about kicker amps is the number you see in model or on actual amp 600.1 1200.1 1800.1 300.4 is the RMS spec of amp and multiply it by 2 to get ur peak so yeah def be ok if u don’t wanna spend the money go with 600.1 or do the 1200.1 with room to add another i have L7S solo baric and had the 600 and 1200 on it and no problems at all hard heavy bass and clean sound no clipping at any level of gain the bass control remote is also good option or like me the Epicenter is always good addition ... have alpine 650rms now my 12” can handle 750 rms all day great sounding sub bette than 2compR 12” i was impressed
A: Yes it will. You may go into protect mode though if your alt and battery do not provide enough voltage. I hookee up an additional battery to get the full power of the amp and its night and day difference. Bass that hits in the chest to core. I also bought the kicker bass knob. Its a must have with this amp and the power this little amp puts out. I have not tun wires cleanly yet because i have not decided on best run path. I have this speaker in a 2014 370z, although had to remove spare tire. Its very intense at full volume. I just installed yesterday and am upgrading cables. After rough calibration with ohmmeter to 48.9 volts it runs great. Now its wire run time..... ughh
A: No. You have to get the 46cxa1200.1 for a 1ohm stable connection. It's just a difference in model number.
A: Yes I have the cx1200.1 on 3 compRT 10s and it slams
Q: how do I bridge 2 12s to this amp
A: How you wire them depends on what subs you have, if they're 2ohm DVC you can run each one in series to make a 4ohm load each, then wire those in parallel to the amp which will drop them to a 2ohm load for maximum output. If you wire each sub in parallel to bring them to 1 ohm each, you'll have to wire them in series when connecting to the amp for a 2ohm load. If you have 4ohm DVC subs, your only options are 1 ohm (this amp isn't stable) or 4 ohm which limits the amp's output. The newer version of this amp is 1ohm stable, you'll want to get that one. Instead of the 43CXA12001 you'll want to order the 46CXA12001. If your subs aren't DVC, 4ohm subs will be wired in parallel, positive to positive, negative to negative etc to get your 2ohm load. If you have SVC 2ohm subs, unfortunately you can't wire them to a 2ohm load, you'll be stuck in the same boat as if they're DVC 4ohm. Good luck.
Q: I have a 46cxa1200.1 kicker amp. Also a 1 ohm DVC sub. Should I run the coils in parallel or series?
A: undefined
Q: Can cx1200.1 class D handle 2 L7 class Q?
A: undefined
