So far I have found only a possible amp.
Velodyne SC1250 but I think it runs on 4 ohm for single sub and 8 ohm for 2 subs. The 13w7 is dual 1.5ohm. Any ideas or suggestions? FYI, I know this is not the car audio section. All I'm looking for is some help finding an amp to power this beast. Thanks

your going to need to put a car amp in there with it my man, you will be spending ALOT of money if you want a home amp to be able to handle powering that thing.

Not sure how much current your amp pulls...but this can produce 80 amps @ 13.8v...

this is not an amp...it is a power supply to power your car amp...it gives you dc power (car battery) from an ac source (wall plug in)...

yeah, there are a variety of these dc power supplies. So look for the one that is best for your amp. I thought 80 amps would be close. I think that the calculation is watts/voltage = amps
if this is the case it will need approx. 83-84 amps max. If this is the case this supply would work.
