1200.1

never look at the peak, just go off the rms. those subs will be perfect with the 1200.1, you could even give them a little more than the 600.

i know not to go off the max but i was wondering if those amps were 1200 and 2500 max or is that the RMS. i know JL goes by the rms. 1000/1 is 1000watts rms. i was wondering if kicker did the same

kicker don't post the peak that i've ever seen. the 1200 and 2500 is the rms at 1ohm.

The kicker KX 1200.1 is 1200+ into 1ohm the KX 2500.1 is 2500+ rms @ 2ohm. The KX 1200.1 and the SX1250.1 were the only ones 1ohm stable. Polo.. :-)

should be a good match, and yeah, all subs can handle more than the rms.

personally i don't like kicker, i think there good spl for comps. but in everyday car they suck cause the sq is sh$tty, but if i had to choose i would take the compvr's over the l5 or l7.

i have compVR's in my car and love them. yeah they might not be as clean as JL or companies like that but the price is a hell of alot cleaner than JL and the other compnanies. im just trying to help out a friend who doesent know jackshit about car audio but wants a loud clean system for cheap or a good price

yeah can't go wrong there for a loud system then, they are pretty cheap.

but have you looked at the assasins, they sound nice and get loud and there still only $75 a 12" from the company.
