High-Efficiency Bass, Compact Chassis
The Hertz Cento Power CP 1.2K is a mono amplifier built to deliver serious subwoofer power with 89% efficiency in a compact, aluminum die-cast body. With 1200W RMS @ 2Ω on tap, advanced noise rejection, and installer‑friendly controls, it’s a rock‑solid upgrade for clean, controlled low end—whether your build is OEM‑plus, custom, or EV‑ready.
Optimized Control for Precise Low End
Tune your bass exactly how you like it using the 24 dB/oct low‑pass filter (50–250 Hz), subsonic filter (25 Hz), and 0–9 dB bass boost @ 50 Hz. Balanced Pre‑In/Speaker‑In inputs keep noise out, while Ready‑to‑Plug Molex connections and top‑panel access make installs clean and quick.
Built to Integrate Anywhere
A wide 9–18 VDC operating range and Universal Speaker Simulator make the CP 1.2K easy to integrate with factory head units and modern vehicles (including EVs). Add the optional HRC 02 remote for on‑the‑fly sub level control from the driver’s seat.
