can't fit that in a z
the regular MTX 9500 in 12" or 15" crack the cones when powered a bit
the specs say 1000 watts rms not peak ,then under that line it says but we reccomend rms power between 500 - 1000 rms
all that hype and you can't give any real power
my t2 subs from rockford say 1000 rms 2000 peak
i drive mine with 10% more than peak power and no issues
anyone else no of a sub that handles more than it's peak power safely and always

The Jackhammer is a showpiece .. no more. They essentially scaled up a driver (3x size) ... really nothing awesome ... just a whole lot of tooling dollars and a driver that they cannot sell.

that jackhammer 22" sub is a marketing tool
nothing more
look at it this way
someone searching for sound quality would not use that
someone going for spl would not either because 1 of those puts you in the
19"-24" class and it is still just 22" of cone and not easy to install or work with or pay for
so it is a coversation piece for a sema show

I gotta throw my sponsor in the ring here too 
I have never once met a person that didn't like the way a JBL GTi subwoofer sounded.
I'll still say that Pioneer's TS-W12PRS is the best sub I have heard in a car though.

for amps on a budget the power acoustic mono block either 2000 or 2500, gotta check their site , i think is alot of power and cheap , for lows , for highs get a rockford , you can get a p4504 cheap 75 watts x 4 @ 4ohms or 125 watts x 4 @ 2 ohms clean power
my buddy that i see out at the spl shows has a 4 dr civic with 2 each 15" kickers , in a sealed enclosure , 148 db outlaw 26" to 30" trunk , and he pushes them with that power acoustik
dvd pioneer avh5700dvd is $600 new din size
if you want double din the panasonic is about $700
nice units
subs
if you want square go Kicker l5 or l7
if you want round go Rf P3 or T1
