Loud Clear and Efficient
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.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.

Very Happy
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.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.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionIs the amp 1200 watts rms at 1 ohm, or 2 ohm. The description tells me it’s 1200 at 2 ohm but then the “overview” tells me it’s only 1200 at 1 ohm. I have two kicker comp r 12s running 2 ohm load, if it’s 1200 at 1 ohm it wouldn’t work for me.

Q: QuestionSo I’m currently looking for an amp that supports 500 rms at 4 ohms, is it fine to run this one even though it’s rated for 600rms at 4 ohms?
Asked by AllanM.
- A:Answer As long as the subwoofer you're powering is rated for a least 600w max it shouldn't be a problem. Also be sure to correctly wired it to 4 ohms, wouldnt want to sent 1200w to the sub on accident.
