Do you need to change the wire size going from 100 amp service to 150 amp service?
Yes, the wire size has to be increased. The existing 100 amp service will now probably have a #3 conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C which is rated for 100 and 105 amps respectively. Increasing to a 150 amp service will use a #1/0 wire size. If you are thinking of an upgrade, skip the 150 amp service and go to a 200 amp panel. New homes are installing 200 amp 42 circuit panels. The extra cost is only reflected in the materials as the labour costs will be the same regardless whether a 150 amp or a 200 amp panel is installed. The wire size for a 200 amp panel is #3/0. With an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C the rating is 200 or 210 amps respectively.

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.

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.
