if you have 2(2)ohm subs, you will be able to play them at a 2 ohm load. But if you have 2 4ohm subs you will able to play them at a 1 ohm load BUT turn your gain down b ecause you will blow your subs. I had kx1200.1 and 2 12L7's and i had my gain almost 3/4 up. go here to see how to wire them up..... https://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp

yeah its unfortunate that you bought a kicker amp with those subs because you can only wire those together to get a 1 ohm or a 4 ohm load. since im pretty sure that kicker is not 1 ohm stable you will need to wire those subs into a 4 ohm load.

the KX1200.1 is 1 ohm stable. You will be fine power wise too. Just read the How To Set Gain Topic. Wire for 1 ohm. -------------

i was wrong in my first post the kx1200.1 is 1 ohm stable. most of kicker amps are only 2 ohm but i guess this one is 1 ohm. heres the link that shows https://www.crutchfield.com/S-sh0woJ4mfcy/p_2064KX1200/Kicker-KX1200-1.html ------------- 87 ramcharger eclipse CD5000 2 15" memphis M3 kenwood 900rms mono amps
