Best SQL for my application without being overkill?

One of these combos will end up in my Z06 corvette, not sure which one to go with. It will be powered off a Kicker ZX750.1. I am looking for SQL but at the same time I dont want to go overkill as the sub will be facing the cabin and will probably be 6-10 inchs away from my head. I listen to mostly hiphop, like 55%, then the rest gets split up with rock, techno, etc.

I am replacing a 13kv.2 with about 400 watts rms

My birth sheet on the Kicker is 913 rms

All will be sealed

TC OEM 10 -

Will be here today. I like the fact that not everyone has one. 28 xmax on a 10 is pretty sick not to mention the cone of it looks like artwork and goes along with my carbon fiber themed interior. I am just wondering if it will be loud enough. I am not some sort of basshead that likes the shake cars, so it probably will. .6-.7 sealed.

2 ID ID10v3s -

Heard great things about IDs, ordered them but decided to do a completely different sub box so I was planning on returning them but I am just wondering if maybe I should use them. They are really clean looking. Never heard them but so many people cant be wrong. .6 sealed per sub

1 idmax12v2 -

Heard absolutely great things about it. Now that I decided to do some fiberglassing I figure I could make a 12 fit. Downside is it will probably cost me about 75 bucks more then what I paid for the TC and I will have to get it used for that price and not new.

I am not looking for overkill but do not want to be dissappointed either, thats why I went from a 400 watt amp to a 800+ watt amp, I want something a bit louder then the 13kv.2 I had before.

I will be deadening the car with a mix of raamat and v1se^2. Its a decently loud car (heads, cam, exhaust, headers, etc).

 
that TC 10 is going to obliverate those other options. I have 2 sitting on my desk and they dwarf even a JL W7. and they are not even SPL subs

Not sure you have enough power for it though I would feed it at least 1000 RMS more if possible around 1200 would probably be a nice sweet spot for it. I have a D5 1200.1 and I think I'm going to need at LEAST 2 Alpine PDX 1000's to power these guys.

2 TC 1000 Tens would be nice as well thats what I'm currently running untill I get these OEM's to fit in there somehow. Actualy the 1000's are loud enough for me btu since I have 2 OEM 10's sitting on my desk staring at me on my desk I haveta do something@!

 
I have yet to hear any TC sounds product but more and more of their subs are catching my attention....especially that OEM 10. Its a shame i dont have a need for a 10.

 
yeah I think i shall stay with the 10, try something different...btw Fedex sucks! they lost my TC OEM 10, all because the zip code said 33062 instead of 33602, i called and corrected it that day when i looked up the tracking number and even though it said destination tampa, it was in miami. They said no problem, got a call today saying they lost the package. Luckily TC has great customer service and a new one is suppose to be in the mail today while fedex tries to locate the other one.
