Imagine you are a music lover. Imagine you purchased a car with a poor stereo system.
Without a great stereo system, a car is not like drinking tea without sugar.
We have to admit that not all cars come with built-in amplifiers that offer great stereo sound for both drivers and passengers.
Best 1200 Watt Amps
What can you do about the poor stereo system in your car?
An external amplifier is required to boost your car’s speakers. This article might be the solution to your problem.
We discuss several 1200-watt amplifiers to help you choose the right amp for your needs.
Continue reading to learn how to choose the best car stereo setup.
We rated the Best 1200 Watt Amps
We considered many factors before rating these amps. These factors are listed below.
Power output
To ensure that the amp delivers the promised power, we checked their power output.
You will be disappointed if you think the amp will deliver the advertised power.
The max power output for most cases is 1200 watts. However, the RMS rating may be lower.
Low-budget amps might have lower power outputs (1200 watts). These amps are not capable of handling 300 watts.
Crosstalk/Channel Separation
Crosstalk was a major issue because many amps we tested were multi-channel.
Channels are supposed to be close together.
Crosstalk is an important issue in our rating.
Crosstalk is a sign of a stereo system that is less pleasing to the ear.
Crosstalk is unwanted signal coupling between amp channels.
Amp ICs are designed to maximize channel separation.
Crosstalk can be caused by external factors like power supply or design.
This can impact the quality of subwoofers and speakers attached to the amps.
Crosstalk can cause amplifiers to produce less sound quality.
Amplifier Class
The way the amp combines power and signals determines its class.
There are four types: There are class A, B and AB amps.
The Class A amps provide a high level in fidelity but low efficiency at 25%.
Low fidelity but high efficiency at 50% or higher are the hallmarks of Class B amps.
Amplifiers in class AB, despite not being 100% efficient are still considered to be the best.
Class AB amps are 60% more efficient than class A amps and produce less distortion.
They are more precise than class AB amps and are the preferred amps.
The product’s class determined whether the amp made it to our top-rated 1200 Watts.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio
Like all electronic audio devices and amplifiers, they can produce more or fewer interference signals.
When background noise is present, it can negatively impact the quality and frequency of signals.
The Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) measures signal power relative to noise power.
Higher SNR measurements indicate that there is more information than noise.
CEA-2006 Certification
Before rating a device, we check that it has a CEA 2006 certificate.
CEA-2006 certification refers to car amplifiers.
This certification makes it easier for amp buyers to compare them.
Many manufacturers like Pioneer and Rockford Fosgate respect CEA-2006, which is an amplifier standard.
While CEA-2006 certification is not required, it gives a good idea about the amplifier’s performance.
Not all amps can be CEA-2006 certified.

Buyer’s Guide
Manufacturers are not trustworthy when they claim that their products are safe. Amps often advertise power ratings that are false. Before you invest your money in an amp, it is crucial to thoroughly research the product. These are the most important things to consider when buying an amp.
1. Channels
The number of channels that you need will depend on your individual needs. A mono amplifier will work fine if you need only to insert a subwoofer in your car’s stereo system.
You can either upgrade your speakers or add a subwoofer to improve the sound quality in your car’s audio system. There are many options, including 2-channel or 3-channel amplifiers. There is also the option to go 4-channel. You also have the option to choose how many subs or speakers you would like.
2. Power Rating
It is safer not to assume that the manufacturer is honest. Further research can be used to verify manufacturer claims. This is an easy way to determine the power ratings for amps. If you’re proficient in basic math, this formula is simple. Let’s move on to the maths.
You can find the actual output by multiplying your car’s voltage by the fuse rating, efficiency, and ampere. Your car’s average voltage is 14.4V. An amp’s specifications will show the fuse rating. Digital amps can achieve 60% efficiency while analog amps can reach 80%.
Once you have a good understanding of the parameters, don’t allow any manufacturer to mislead.
3. Topology of Amps
It is essential to understand the topology of any amp that you are thinking about buying. This will allow you to determine whether your amps are efficient and produce high quality sounds. Although they can produce high-fidelity sounds but are not efficient, Class A amps can be very efficient. Although class A amps can produce high-fidelity sounds, they are not efficient and produce poor audio.
Class AB is a combination of Class A, Class B. The most efficient class in terms of audio output and efficiency is Class D. They are used in modern amps.
A class D amplifier is recommended if you want to add a subwoofer to your car’s stereo system. If you are looking for a multichannel amplifier, we recommend the class AB amps.
4. Connectivity / Inputs
Everyone wants an amp that is flexible and powerful. It is important to ensure that the amp you’re considering purchasing has the required inputs for the devices you want to connect. Make sure you have USB inputs to connect your laptop and home theater computers. You also have the option of a 3.5mm connector to connect your phone or turntables and a USB port to connect your computer.
5. Total Harmonic Distortion+Noise
This measure shows how amps impact the output frequency quality. This is expressed as a percentage. Higher levels of distortion can lead to lower quality sounds. You should choose amps that have a low rating for THD+N.
6. Ratio Signal to Noise
SNR is the ratio of background noises and produced sounds. Background noise is caused electrons whizzing around. The background noise should be kept to a minimum so we can hear the sounds we want. A high SNR number is a good thing. It is measured in decibels.
Commonly Asked Questions (FAQs
