For maximum performance from your speaker systems KICKER recommends using an amplifier that is rated to deliver +/- 20% Watts RMS of the speaker's RMS power rating. An amplifier that delivers 800-1200 Watts RMS to the enclosure would be the recommendation. The CXA1200.1 is rated to produce 1200 Watts RMS in to a 2-ohm load and would be a good choice for this enclosure.

Loud Clear and Efficient
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.
