1200 watt wiring kit suitable for a 800 watt amp and 1100 watt sub not sure whether this would have a effect on the cables?

1200 Watt wiring is more than enough for an 800 Watt amp. The rating of the sub doesn't make any difference to the cables. If you want to use the sub to its rated power you should get a bigger amp. If the amp can only give out 800 Watts and the sub can take 1100 Watts then you can put a bigger amp on. It is still going to be loud as with an 800 Watt amp.

What size kicker amp do i need for a kicker comp subwoofer. do i need the mono or class d amp 300watt?

When buying an amp its best and safe to use the 1:1 ratio. That would mean if subs RMS was rated at 350 watts then get a 350 watt amp. Alot of installers will use 3:1 ratio because the subs max rated at 1200 watts so they say you will need a 1200 watt amp. But the truth is that sub may only peak a fraction of a millisecond. So unless your competing for a title championship there is no need to destroy you subs that you paid so much for.
