- A: AnswerI originally had this paired with one Kicker Comp R 12 at 2 ohms. That was way too powerful for the Comp R because it kept blowing the sub despite Best Buy Geek Squad tech actually taking the time to ensure the output was matched and accurate to what that one Comp R 12 was supposed to be able to handle. It was explained to me that the blowing was likely due to this amp actually being more powerful than it's reported and not necessarily due to the Comp R 12 not being able to handle what it's supposed to. I recently upgraded to the Kicker Comp VX 12. Wow. I've got a bass knob installed. The bass know was previously turned all the way up when the Kicker Comp R was paired with this amp, and the gain on the amp was turned down lower to prevent the Comp R 12 from blowing. It still sounded good, but I figured I wanted to get more out of the amp by going with a better sub. The Kicker Comp VX 12 hits so much deeper and louder paired with this amp at 1 ohm (it's 1 ohm stable which is a huge deal!), AND that's wit the bass knob turned down to about 25% I want to give this sub some time to break in and am gradually turning up the bass knob. Summary is that this is perfect to pair with one Kicker Comp VX 12 with it wired at 1 ohm. I promise you won't regret it. Matthew 7:12

- A: AnswerYou will have to purchase speaker wire to RCA adapters. Kicker sells them on their website for about $15 I think. Hook those from your speaker wires to your amp. Be sure to switch the input button on your amp to HIGH instead of low. DO NOT USE THIS PLUS A REMOTE WIRE. You dont need a remote wire with amp wired this way. It senses signal from your speakers and automatically turns on.

- A: AnswerIf your referring to a kicker amp you do not need a loc, kicker makes a kisl which converts high level speaker input to rca. Its about 20 bucks and 4 butt connectors thats it. Your amp will sense power from from your speakers and power on and off automatically. So much easier and cheaper but yes you can also use the same power and ground on your amp to power the loc if you still decide to use it. Sound quality is better with the kisl, also with kisl you'll have the high/low input button on your amp to high. Check it out

- A: AnswerThe KICKER CXA800.1 is rated to develop 800 Watts RMS in to a 1-ohm load. The KICKER CompR 12" Subwoofer is rated at 500 Watts RMS and with using a pair of them (2) you would be at a total RMS power rating on your speaker system of 1000 Watts RMS. For maximum performance of your speaker systems, KICKER recommends using an amplifier that is rated to produce X Watts RMS that is within +/- 20% of your speaker systems RMS rated power. So, with a 1000 Watt RMS rated speaker system, KICKER recommends using an amplifier that falls within the 800-1200 Watts RMS range. Always keep in mind that smaller amplifiers will also sound great but just not get you the full output (SPL, loudness) potential of your speaker systems.
