Cool. I didn't know this was for a bigger car like a trailblazer.
Still 600W to each of 2-12" is a lot for a set of 6-1/2" comps to keep up with. Tuning will be important. What are you using for sound processing?
I had 1-10" Digital Designs 9510 in my S4 with about 1500W powering it. At full tilt, it was hard to even sit in the car. I basically had all my amp gains set to minimum and had a DSP to get everything to sound good. For awhile, I had only a 13-band EQ that was built into my HU and we got it to sound pretty good. Then I upgraded to a full 31-band EQ/DSP and then it sounded amazing.

It's an adaptable class A section
the more current draw the more it blends into an AB. It is a Class A under average load. If you'd like to argue further on the matter, feel free to test the expert minds on 12vinsider.com.
Also, Audison are some of the best amps available. If they make claim to class A, pretty sure it is a class a.

I work for Elettromedia, the parent company of Hertz/Audison
I questioned the factory before deciding on the LRx5.1k to power (2) Mille 12s, and they said that it would work flawlessly.
2 years ago, Elettromedia used the LRx5.1k in their demo car at sema to power (2) ML2500 and a set of MLK2 in the front of a Nissan 350z. It was hands down the best sounding car I heard at the show.
Pick up the October issue of Car Audio and Electronics magazine where Jeremy Katz used all Audison LRx amps to power MLK2 mids and ML2500 woofers. I haven't gotten the pleasure of hearing it, but everybody that I talk to says it's nothing short of perfect.
Larry Fredericks who is a god in this industry claims it's the best sounding car he's EVER heard.
I think you're choice of product is superb. I hope you're happy!

this kids camaro was amazing and it had more cone area than two
12s( he has three 10s) in a camaro and the fronts had NO problem keeping up. And when i say no problem, the bass hit so hard i couldnt breathe(he was just showing me what it could do), and the highs were LouD and crystal clear. I didnt hear any distortion even at really high volumes. they were amazingly bright but not harsh. I hate harsh tweeters.
i really havent got to processing yet. What would you recommend? I havent even asked the shot about it yet.

I can't imagine 2-2.9s being much better considering the 2.9s are class AB and the 1.2 is D.
The full tilt rating for the 1.2 probably assumes a 1 ohm load which he wouldn't reach if he's running 2-4 ohm subs.

It's what they call class "aud"
a varient of class D which allows for better SQ.
The A channel of the LRx5.1 is biased towards the class A technology as they saw the 50X2 being used for tweeters.

It looks like the current factor is being addressed with the addition of a performance battery
I was at a shop in Boise when a kid with a new Scion TC picked up an LRx1.2k. I had to ask "what are you doing to address the power supply issues". He said that he was going to get a capacitor! ahahahahaha.

What are your goals for the system?
It sounds like your goals might be a little different from what mine were. I was going for strictly SQ. I didn't really care how loud it was. I just wanted accurate sound reproduction. It was just a bonus that the system happened to be able to get really loud. I was using an Alpine PXA-H701 for processing but you need an Alpine HU to control it unless you buy the add on controller. But it doesn't perform quite the same if you're not using an Alpine HU. I'm looking into an Audiocontrol DQXS for another car. The Rockford 3sixty.2 is good but only limited to 6 channels so that might cause some problems depending on how you plan to setup your system.
