Figured I'd just link you into the thread I poasted about it a while back. As long as you're sure you're not clipping and they are in no way HOT it should be alright... I can play mine for an hour straight at full tilt... which I do on a semi-regular basis and the caps never get more than slightly warm to the touch.

clipping

Easy to say because it's probably true, but 1200W is a lot of heat any way you cut it and IMO warming up the coil is to be expected. As long as it isn't getting stinky I don't think it'll do any harm.

Im running it at 3ohms, it should only be getting around 600 maybe 700 at most

Whatever. Put your hand on a 100W lightbulb and let me know if 100W is a lot of heat. In any event warm is normal, smelly is bad.

That'll teach you that even 100W of power is a lot of heat! You have learned a valueable physics lesson that you won't soon forget.

you can clip a signal with under 100rms and destroy a 1000rms subs.

Ohh well, sounds good and clean to me
