QuestionOn the kicker website it says "Power (watts/ch) 4 Ohm 600x1 Power (watts/ch) 2 Ohm 1200x1 Power (watts/ch) 1 Ohm 1200x1 +/-10%" Does that mean its 1ohm stable? Can I wire one 44L7s122 at 1ohm?

QuestionWill this work with my 2 12-inch Rockford Fosgate Punch HX2 RFD2212 subwoofers? Max RMS (500) , DVC 4-ohm If not any suggestions as to what will fit best for my subs??
Asked 2 years ago by Leo.
- Answer KICKER recommends that if you are looking for maximum performance from your speaker system that you use an amplifier that produces an RMS wattage that is within +/- 20% of the RMS rating of your speakers. Your Rockford subwoofer is rated at 500 Watts RMS so with two of those you would be at 1000 Watts RMS required as a maximum RMS rating. Kicker would recommend using an amplifier that is RMS power rated at no less than 800 Watts and no more than 1200 Watts RMS to power both of those speakers. The KICKER CXA1200.1 produces 1200 Watts RMS into a 2-ohm or 1-ohm load and would work well within those parameters. Always keep in mind that smaller amplifiers will also sound great but just not get you the full output (SPL, loudness) potential of your speaker systems. We recommend setting the gains properly and do not operate your amplifier into clipping. If you have further questions, please feel free to reach out to KICKER Technical Support.

QuestionWas thinking of getting 2 15 Kicker Comps but don’t know if they would handle the power because they’re only 350 watt rms each. Should I get a 15 CVR instead??
Asked 2 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer The KICKER CXA1200.1 Monoblock Subwoofer Amplifier is rated to produce 600 Watts RMS into a 4-ohm load, 1200 Watts RMS into a 2-ohm load and 1200 Watts (+/- 10%) RMS into a 1-ohm load. The KICKER Comp 15" Subwoofer is rated to handle 250 Watts RMS of power and 500 Watts Peak. If you were to wire two Comp Single Voice Coil 15" 4-ohm Subwoofers (43C154) in parallel to the CXA1200.1, each subwoofer would receive 600 Watts RMS; which is more power than we would safely recommend. If you were to wire two Comp Single Voice Coil 15" 4-ohm Subwoofers (43C154) in series to the CXA1200.1 you would then see about 150 Watts RMS to each subwoofer which is a little light on power if you are looking at just the RMS numbers, but it would sound good. For maximum performance from any speaker, KICKER recommends using an amplifier which will provide an RMS rated power that is within +/- 20% of rated RMS power of your speaker(s). If you are using the CXA1200.1 and want to power two KICKER 15" Subwoofers, we would recommend looking at the CompC or CompR over the Comp. If you want to use a pair of Comp 15" Subwoofers, consider powering them with a CXA800.1 instead.

QuestionWill this amp push my 1100 watt RMS 2 ohm dvc sub
Asked 2 years ago by Fitter79.
- Answer The KICKER CXA1200.1 amplifier is designed to produce 1200 Watts RMS @ 14.4 Volts DC into a 2-ohm speaker load. Kicker recommends using an amplifier that is RMS Watts rated within +/- 20% of the RMS Wattage rating of your speaker. If your speaker is rated 1100 Watts RMS then we recommend looking at an amplifier designed to produce anywhere from 880 Watts RMS to 1320 Watts RMS. Always set your gains properly and do not operate your amplifier in a clipped state.

QuestionSo I have 2 JBL - GX Series 12" Single-Voice-Coil 4-Ohm Subwoofers. Rms is 250 a piece so 500 rms total. Would I run my speaker wires separate and put in each channel to stay at 4ohms for 600 rms? Or would I need to wire different or get a different amp?
Asked 2 years ago by Alex.
- Answer The Kicker CX 1200.1 amplifier is rated to produce 600 Watts into 4-ohm loads, 1200 Watts into 2-ohm and 1-ohm loads. The only wiring options available to you with two Single-Voice-Coil 4-ohm subwoofers would be to wire them in parallel for a 2-ohm load or wire them in series for an 8-ohm load. In parallel configuration each subwoofer would see 600 watts RMS. In Series configuration the amplifier would produce approximately 300 Watts RMS of power and feed each sub 150 Watts. Neither option is ideal for the rated power on your subwoofers, but each is usable. If you go the parallel route for the higher power, be sure you adjust the gain on your amplifier so that it will produce less power with your particular source unit, do not operate your system in a manner to cause clipping and do not drive your subwoofers beyond their mechanical limits and you should be fine.
