it'll be fine, just make sure you get an aftermarket crossover for it...

A 12W7 takes 750 RMS so that amp will do the trick. That sub is a DVC (as are all JL subs) so the lowest amount of ohms you can wire a single DVC sub in is 3 ohms. I'm pretty sure the 1200.1 pushes 1200 watts @ 1 and 2 ohms and 600 @ 4 ohms so 3 ohms will have you right in the middle around 800. You're good to go!

RMS ratings for constant output..as in 24 hours playing the same note...[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]..

The sub can handle a good 1000 watts for musical applications.. and about 3000+ for SPL Burps..

If you want a new amp grab a JL Audio 1000/1 for that sub and enjoy!
