Pirate, is the Velo you're looking at the one that has the outboard amp? The SC-12 and SC-1250 Sub + amp combo?

If so, keep in mind that the amp produces the rated 1250 watts into a 4ohm load...a single SC-12 sub is rated at 8 ohms. What this means for you is that if you only have the single SC-12 paired to the SC-1250 amp, it will only make half it's rated power or 625 watts. You'd need to pick up another SC-12 and wire it in parallel to that amp to make it see a 4 ohm load and produce the rated 1250 watts. Depending on your budget, there might be a better way to fulfill your sub needs.
