well seeing how you said jbl or kicker....

just look at the amps and see what's offered in one that isn't in the other.. look at your application too... jbl no ssf, that would turn me away (b/c extra money would need to be spent).. then again jbl does 1200.1 @ 2ohms and the kicker is less @ that ohm load..

ssf = sub sonic filter

Is the crossfire and mtx amps better than the kicker?

do i need a ssf for a jbl 1200.1 if so how much?

yes it is. The crossfire is more of a power house type amp. The mtx has more features than the crossfire. they are more clean then the kicker and jbl. I heard that the JbL is a little clip happy.

They are not cleaner than the sx series kicker amps.

Of all 4 of these amps, which one runs th ecoolest and will draw the least power?

the mtx i willl say but the crossfire is more of an workhorse.
