It's actually a good idea to have a speaker that can handle higher wattage than the amp can produce.

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. I have a 300 watt amp with a 1200 Watt sub and people hear me coming.

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.

How big of an amp do you need for two 1200 watt subwoofers?

Depends on what your willing to spend.. For two 1200 watt subs I would go with a 1200 watt amp and run both of then 600 watts ( you don't want to always run subs to full power, because the voice coil might blow or you will light your subs on fire). If your feeling brave you can run a 2000 watt amp 0_o that will annoy your neighbours, but make your car bump!

Can i use a 8 gauge 1200 watt power wire for a 1000 watt amp?

A #8 conductor is rated at 40 amps. Wattage is the product of amps x volts. As you can see the voltage is needed in this question to answer it. In the electrical trade I have never come across the terminology watt amp. Volt amp, yes.
