Saw your post go unanswered so figured I'd give the X80's specs according to the manufacturer. Looks to me like you'd want a power supply in the 30A range. Always choose a DC power supply rated a bit higher than what you actually will need or you will end up placing it under full-duty stress continually----and it may not last too long as a result.

XForce X80

Transistors 2 x 2SC2290
Dimensions H 4 1/4" x L 7 1/8" x W 4 1/4"
Amp Draw (maximum) 27
Class C
SSB Delay
no Pre-amp
no Driver Required N/A
Power Output (RMS) 80 Watts
Power Output (PEP) 270 Watts
Driven Power (RMS) N/A
Driven Power (PEP) N/A
