Well I solved my own question, I was using talon.ConfigNominalOutputVoltage instead of what I was trying to use which is talon.ConfigPeakOuputVoltage. If anyone else experiences this problem I would recommend looking for that.

this: t1.configNominalOutputVoltage(12.0f, -12.0f);
should be t1.configNominalOutputVoltage(0.0f, 0.0f);
and:
t1.configPeakOutputVoltage(12.0f, -12.0f);
