You can. Just don't have the gain turned up all the way and listen for distortion from the subwoofer. After you hook the amp up, turn the gain all the way down, turn the stereo up as loud as you can. At the point where the regular speakers start to distort, turn the volume down just to the point that the music is clear then slowly turn the gain up on the amp just to the point that the sub starts to distort then turn it down to the point it sounds clear with no distortion and you just balanced your system. You should never have a problem or hurt your sub.

Can a 1200 watt amp give good bass to 2 kicker cvr 12's?

It depends on the rms of the two cvrs combined. Also if the 1200 watt amp is 1200 watt rated (rms) or 1200 watt peak. Lets say the two kickers have an rms of 600 watt each, and the amp is 1200 watt rms, which it probably isnt but i'll pretend. This set up would work because 600 of the amps watts would be correctly matched with one sub, and the other 600 would go to the other sub.
