Kicker CX Series Amplifiers

Kicker CX series amplifiers were designed by Kicker's expert audio engineers to bring you plenty of clean RMS power for even the most demanding system. Kicker engineered these amps to be ultra compact, meaning there won't be any monsterous amps that you have to design your system around, they'll fit just about anywhere. The CEA-2006 compliant CX1200.1 monoblock puts out up to 1200 watts of RMS power and is compatible with the Kicker CXARC remote bass controller.

Kicker CX Amps are Incredibly Compact Ultra-Compact Footprint

The Kicker CX1200.1 will fit just about anywhere, whether you want to install it discretely under a seat, hide it in the back of your trunk or mount it somewhere else. This compact amp measures just over 7" wide, 12" deep and comes in at just over 2" tall. With a footprint this small, Kicker optimized the circuit layout for the most efficient use of components possible.


Kicker CX Amps Can be Mounted Nearly Anywhere Mount Anywhere

To take full advantage of the compact footprint, Kicker includes mounting hardware which gives you the option of vertically mounting your CX1200.1 amplifier. With this hardware, you can install the amplifier nearly anywhere in your car, whether you're looking for an inconspicuous and out-of-the-way installation or want to mount your amp to show it off.


Kicker CX Amps Feature High Quality Components Staggering Technology

Beneath the high-mass, super cooling UV protected aluminum heatsink Kicker included double-sided fiberglass circuit boards, incredibly efficient Litz-wound transformers and TO218 output devices which provide high-current switching. Externally, the CX1200.1 features buffered RCA outputs, noise-shielding metal-end panels and custom tooled power connectors.

Worth every penny

I hooked this amp up to a kicker L7 4 ohm, wired to a 2 ohm load. This thing gives the L7 all it needs to sound awesome. Economical price and plenty of power.

Kicker is CLUTCH!!

I have it pushing a Rockford Fosgate T2 12" 60 lb behemoth at 2 ohms. The birthing sheet said that at 2 ohms this thing does 1297 rms, so definitely NOT OVERRATED power wise. FYI kicker, Rockford and the premium amp manufacturers always UNDERRATE their amps, that's why they cost so much. Highly recommended.

CX1200.1 is a Beast in a Small Body

This amp is a very good amp I just switched from a hifonics brz 1200.1d to the cx1200.1 and I noticed a big difference in power output and it does not use as much power as the brz 1200.1d

The sound quality is great the amp does get a little warm (but I also live in florida)

It is a very well made amp very happy with it.

This amp makes a 12L7 pound

I followed the amplifinder on this site and then i decided to just browse amps and look at the specs. This amp did not come up in the amplifinder but fit what i thought i needed. I bought it, even though it made me nervous that SonicElectronix did not recommend it for my L7. Well, I installed it and everyone who hears my setup (12" L7 in a sealed box) cant believe it sounds how it does. If this is an entry level amp, Ive been wasting money on the "good stuff" for 12 years. I dont know about durability yet, I have had it a month. but ive run it for over an hour for as loud as the L7 can handle. It doesnt even get warm.

replaced dying Infiniti 1600a

replaced old 600rms Amp with this monster have to be careful with my Type R but like others have stated, it doesn't even get warm when its doing its thing to the subwoofers limits, might be overkill for the sub I have now, but gives me room to upgrade it in the future.

I love this amp

I have this amp hooked to 3 kicker 12 inch L3s and this amp pushes them great it never gets hot and it puts out more than 1200 rms watts i love this amp

And before I forget I have had this amp for over 3 months and I push it hard and I never had a problem for the first few weeks I had it I would always check it to see if it was warm and it never was

Solid amp

I used this amp to push a kicker L7 15. It did a great job, the amp was just a hair below what the sub needed. That still makes for an extremely loud system. All in all I would say pick this amp for those who want a good middle of the road system. Loud enough to be ridiculous but nothing close to hair tricks or broken windshields. As a side note, never put an L7 in a sealed box. 4 cubes per sub is a great rule of thumb. Kicker sub's love bigger boxes and ported. If you're running an L7 10 then 3 cubes. I tuned my 15 down to 28hz in a 3 cube box I built. Box was too small but it droned.
