At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere.
That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box,
verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs.
We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

Features
Cosmetics: The amplifier is
gray and it has a black, removable metal shroud.
Class D Mono Amplifier:
Delivers massive power into a single channel without big current draw.
Low Impedance Operation: This
amp is 1-ohm stable.
Amplifier Shroud: The amplifier
has a metal shroud that must be removed before installation, allowing access to
the amplifier's inputs and outputs. Once the amplifier is installed and all the
connections are made, you can re-install the shroud to hide the connections on
the amplifier, or leave the shroud off to save space. With the shroud removed,
the amp has the following dimensions: W=18.875" (20.8125" with RCA's) x H=2.238"
x D=9.565".
Kicker "Living Loud" Certified
Power Certificate: The amplifier comes with a certificate that informs you
of the total maximum wattage of the particular amplifier, along with the model
number, serial number, tested date, and whether the amplifier passed the total
harmonic distortion, signal-to-noise ratio, and protection circuit tests (if it
shipped, you can count on it passing these tests).
Speaker-level Inputs: One
high-level input connection is included to allow use with sources that do not
have RCA preamp level outputs.
PAST (Pre Amp Signal Transfer):
Output RCA jacks to pass the incoming signal to another amplifier or component.
Amp Strapping Jacks:
This feature allows you to hook two KX1200.1 together, and combine their power
to drive one woofer. The minimum impedance for this application is 2 ohms.
Note: You can only strap two of the same model amps together.
Built-in Variable Electronic
Crossovers: There are two built-in crossovers that allow you to select
high-pass for satellite speakers, low-pass for subwoofers, or bypass for
full-range operation. The crossover frequency is variable from 50 to 200Hz.
Subsonic Filter
Switch: The sub-sonic filter is used to
filter out low frequencies that you cannot hear but add distortion to your
system. The crossover point is 25Hz, and has a slope of 12dB/octave.
In-line Fuse Holder with 150A
ANL Fuse: This amplifier does not have
a fuse in the chassis. You must used this fuse and fuse holder to protect the
amp and your car's electrical system. The fuse holder accepts 1/0 gauge wire.
The fuse holder has a clear detachable cover with a Kicker logo on top. The base
is black and the terminals are gold-plated. The dimensions of the fuse holder
are: 4.554" L x 2.291" W x 1.076".
SORT (Short circuit, Over-voltage,
Reverse polarity, Thermal)
Protection Circuitry: The SORT protection circuitry guards against
accidents and undesired operation. The Power LED on the left side of the amp
glows green and the power indicator on top of the amp glows red when the
amplifier is connected correctly and SORT has not been engaged. If the red
Protection LED illuminates, SORT has been engaged and the amplifier is in
protect mode until the problem is resolved.
KickBass Bass Boost: The two
KickBass bass boost circuits provide up to 18dB signal boost at 40Hz.
Remote Bass Level Control:
This dash-mounted remote unit allows you to adjust the output level of the
amplifier. The control has the following dimensions: 2.208" W x 1.717" D (2.105"
including the knob) x 1.164" H.
Controls

Wiring Recommendation
Wiring Recommendations: This
amplifier has a 150-amp fuse, so its fuse rating exceeds that of stock wiring
kits. Since pre-packaged amplifier wiring kits cannot be used, you must purchase
all the necessary items separately. An ANL wafer-style fuse holder and 150-amp
ANL wafer fuse are supplied. The separate parts and wiring needed to install
this amplifier are as follows:
- 2 power rings for 1/0 gauge cable
- 1/0 gauge power cable (to connect
the battery to a fuse holder and the fuse holder to the amplifier)
- 1/0 gauge ground cable
- Remote turn-on cable (speaker
wire can be used as remote turn-on cable)
- One set of stereo RCA patch
cables
- Speaker wire
