Silver Member Username: GrebnereonPost Number: 129 Registered: Mar-06 | what will one of these do rms @1 OHM? arent they underrated?also, what will a SX1250.1 do? i have a 200A alt and everything. i plan on running 2 AA ARSENALS thank you much |
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 1443 Registered: Feb-06 | the birth sheet that came with my 1200.1 says 1490w @ 1ohm. it'll push those arsenals nicely. |
Silver Member Username: GrebnereonPost Number: 132 Registered: Mar-06 | haha hey mike, thanks, theres a couple im looking at on ebay, i can get a factory refurbished one for 318 but i kinda like the sx1250 better, but i dont really know too much about kicker amps. what do you think? |
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 1444 Registered: Feb-06 | don't get the sx, the sx is only 2ohm stable if i remember correctly, and you can't wire your arsenals to that. and don't get a refurb 1200.1 for that price, get this one, brand new with full kicker warranty: http://www.hifisoundconnection.com/Shop/Control/Product/fp/vpid/1570443/vpcsid/0 /SFV/30046 or you can look at a ed nine.1 it's $315 shipped. |
Silver Member Username: GrebnereonPost Number: 133 Registered: Mar-06 | but the nine.1 only does 1200 rms right? or is it underated? and what do you think about this: http://cgi.ebay.com/Resonant-Engineering-12-1-Amplifier_W0QQitemZ130019748338QQi hZ003QQcategoryZ79829QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem |
Silver Member Username: GrebnereonPost Number: 134 Registered: Mar-06 | and oh yeah the sx1250.1 is stable at 1 ohm, its almost exactly like the kx1200 only it has the digital stuff, http://cgi.ebay.com/KICKER-SX1250-1-DIGITAL-MONO-SX-CAR-AMPLIFIER-AUDIO-AMP_W0QQ itemZ270020013488QQihZ017QQcategoryZ79829QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem this isnt the one i was looking at, im just showin ya |
Bronze Member Username: CavsmaximaPost Number: 19 Registered: Aug-06 | im looking at that same amp u are the kicker kx1200.1 for my two s10ls by kicker. I cant really find that amp anywhere only on hifisoundconnection and someone told me the specs on that site arent even right. Do you know any other sites i can look at that amp. Thnaks a lot! |
Bronze Member Username: CavsmaximaPost Number: 20 Registered: Aug-06 | Hey mike, do you think that amp would power my solobarics enough or is there something else you know of. Thank you! |
Silver Member Username: Big_fletchNewport, Ar, Ar United states Post Number: 492 Registered: May-06 | get the kx 1200 i have one and its birthsheet says 1500 watts |
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, OR U.S. Post Number: 3198 Registered: Oct-05 | grebnereon --- The kicker 1200.1 or the sx1250.1 will push those subs very nicely. I would go with the kicker 1200.1, i have heard and seen more people with kx1200.1 amps, and never had one problem. My firend has one and has been running his @ .5 ohm, giving his subs around 2100 watts. The sx1250.1 is also a great amp, but looks a little more expensive only because of th digital tuning and displays that it has. They both put around 1400 watts, so i would go with the kicker from hifisoundconnection.com chris -- yes, the amp will push your subs very nicely and you would be overpowering them a little. The L series amps cant take alot of power, so you have to be careful with your gain and keep it a lil below the pre-out voltage |

Silver Member Username: Night_mirageAmmanJordan Post Number: 386 Registered: Jan-06 | kx1200.1 from hifisoundconnection is 350$ its a good deal but is there anyone bought from this site ..? |
Silver Member Username: DrsmithMontana USA Post Number: 234 Registered: Nov-04 | they arent gonna screw you there factory authorized by kicker so you get a kicker warranty and everything |
Bronze Member Username: CavsmaximaPost Number: 28 Registered: Aug-06 | Awesome, Thanks for your help Bassman! Night Mirage. Ive bought countless items from there site no problems so far. But ive never tried to return anything so im not sure about their returns. |

Silver Member Username: Big_fletchNewport, Ar, Ar United states Post Number: 494 Registered: May-06 | hey bassman how to i make my kx amp do .5ohms? |
Silver Member Username: GrebnereonPost Number: 135 Registered: Mar-06 | how bout those bass knobs? does anyone actually use those? sounds kinda stupid to me |
Silver Member Username: Big_fletchNewport, Ar, Ar United states Post Number: 499 Registered: May-06 | i got one but i havent hooked it up i will sometime just to see how it is and stuff |
Silver Member Username: GrebnereonPost Number: 136 Registered: Mar-06 | well i just ordered a kx1200 from hifi,..... |
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, OR U.S. Post Number: 3207 Registered: Oct-05 | tyler -- you dont want to run your amp at .5 ohms. if you could, you would need the correct VC configuration which means you would need 2 DVC 2 ohm subs, and just wire to a .5 ohm load. but i wouldnt never do that unless you know what your doing because you have to customize your amp if you want to to suceed at that for a long period of time. my friend was just doin it to see how it does, and it does great and bass knobs are a personal preference. i personally dont like them, but of couse they do make them louder. but most people do use them to a certain point |
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, OR U.S. Post Number: 3208 Registered: Oct-05 | and tyler, use it on your L7 and see how it sounds... |
Silver Member Username: GrebnereonPost Number: 137 Registered: Mar-06 | im almost sick....this is the most money ive ever spent, i only paid 1100 total for my car....and this new system just cost me 1169.......i got :new 6x8s, an amp kit, new alt(200A from excessive, 2 AA arsenals, big 3 kit, and now this kx1200.. |

Silver Member Username: GrebnereonPost Number: 139 Registered: Mar-06 | great, i just wasnt sure if the post on the amp was for 1 or 2 awg., but i guess it wouldnt matter either way |
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, OR U.S. Post Number: 3222 Registered: Oct-05 | yea. it will fit |
Silver Member Username: Night_mirageAmmanJordan Post Number: 388 Registered: Jan-06 | how many days they said shipping will take .? for kx1200.1 and as bassman said you will love this amplifier and all your system .. |
Bronze Member Username: CavsmaximaPost Number: 40 Registered: Aug-06 | HiFI usually takes around 8 days. |
Silver Member Username: Big_fletchNewport, Ar, Ar United states Post Number: 502 Registered: May-06 | bassman u say i should hook up my bass knob to my amp and use it....does it make the sub louder if i do hook it up and use it? |
Silver Member Username: Rob_pregRoyal oak, Michigan United states Post Number: 483 Registered: Sep-05 | its the same as using the bass boost nob on the amp itself. the remote gives you just that, remote access to the bass boost. if using it, you would make sure the bass boost on the amp itself is all the way down, and you generally dont want to turn it up that much at all. too much bass boost and you get muddy, sloppy bass. proper gains never hurt either. |
Gold Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 1395 Registered: Jan-06 | You know the Kicker sx1250.1's are 1ohm stable. Those are the onl two that are, the KX1200 and the SX1250. Polo.. |
Silver Member Username: Big_fletchNewport, Ar, Ar United states Post Number: 508 Registered: May-06 | how many watts would my kx 1200 put out if i wired it down to 1 ohm? on the birthsheet it says 1500 at 1 ohm certified |
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 1463 Registered: Feb-06 | if it says 1500 @ 1ohm then i would guess at 1ohm it'll do 1500, given you have an upgraded charging system. |
Silver Member Username: Big_fletchNewport, Ar, Ar United states Post Number: 513 Registered: May-06 | sorry bout that post that sounded stupid i was wantin to know how many watts it will do at .5 ohms with the birthsheet sayin it will do 1500 watts at 1 ohm |
Silver Member Username: Big_fletchNewport, Ar, Ar United states Post Number: 517 Registered: May-06 | bump |
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, OR U.S. Post Number: 3235 Registered: Oct-05 | usually double the wattage. so around 2800-3000 watts |
Silver Member Username: Big_fletchNewport, Ar, Ar United states Post Number: 522 Registered: May-06 | so if i got my amp to run on .5 ohm and i added another 15 L7 do u think it will sound good would my amp get hot on .5ohms? |
Silver Member Username: Night_mirageAmmanJordan Post Number: 391 Registered: Jan-06 | i don't agree with that .. Stay @ 1 ohm .. its a very powerfull amplifier .. |
