Need help with my subwoofers?

So I've recently started getting into subwoofers. Right now I have a '99 Honda accord. In the back i have a 200watt amp pushing a 12' Jack hammer in a really great box. We didnt have real speaker wire so we got 600 watt electrical wire (lol I know). Well It doesnt push as well as I would like it to. I used to have a '96 mazda 626 with 2 10' sherwinvages (dont remember what amp I had hooked up) and they sounded amazing. Im thinking about putting them in the honda.

But my question is, what kinda of amp do you think I should put in my car to push that jackhammer? Or should I just get rid of it and put the vages in there?

    Is this the MTX Jackhammers? I thought they only came in 22 inches, anyway. If so, I'd put the Vega's back in...The MTX Jackhammers are not really efficient and should be used for special applications only. These things are rated at 6,000 watts RMS or 12,000 watts peak. The MTX Jackhammers are excellent speakers but you have to have a massive amount of power from a large amp and a large box to get anything out of them. They are way over kill.
