Ken, The M & K VX-1250 SubWoofer Amplifier is a most suitable unit for your application. I'm impressed. You will never be wanting for headroom.
Note that the passive/fixed x/over, inside the sub, MUST be by-passed to facilitate the variable/active x/over in the plate amp. If it's practical to remove it, do so. It's no problem if that's not the case.
Behind the post plate, wires leave the post connectors, and connect to the passive x/over. From the x/over, they extend and connect to the speaker, thus completing the (power) signal path. As I have suggested, connect the wires entering and leaving the now by-passed x/over. Build your frame with 4" of clearance depth. Plug the output of the plate amp into the post connectors, and mount the amp. The wiring should be intuitive, but if not, I'd be happy to confirm what you see when you get inside, via the post plate. The only potential problem I foresee is insufficient access and maneuverability working through the removed post plate. If this is not the case, or you can improvise, then wire carefully and enjoy your active sub. Active systems (amps/x- overs) are way cool, and once you go down that road, you NEVER go back.
