I have not used the GZ but I am using a NVX in my wife's RGS and it is working well. It is very small and sound is very clean.

I personally have not the GZ micro amp but have heard them and they are just not a clean sound. I heard 2 setups with the gz amp and neither sounded that good to my ears. I have installed a few vadm4 amps and have run them both regular and bridged. They sound good and are clear/loud. I am currantly running one bridged to a set of mmats pa690.3 in my lids.

I use mine to power my compression tweeters and I like it. It puts out more power than rated and has clear sound. I will say that when I tried it on my PRV's it did brighten them up significantly.

Just as a point of clarification, are you running and referring to the GZ or NVX? Thx!!

Bang for the buck ur better off w the VADM4.

GZ is a very nice amp If u utilize a tech tool to set the gains as they seem to get a lil dirty at varying watts. Ricky Bobby's gets dirty at 205 while Rufus get 220 out of his. In all cases, a bit below specs. Have run my fairing off the GZ wired bridged in the clean zone and not sure I have had a better sound coming from that location.

VADM will also deliver solid audio if kept in its wheelhouse but is a ton cheaper thus that's prob gonna be your best play.
