Shallow Mount opinions

Hey guys,
Long time since I've been active here, but now it's time to start upgrading some things in my audio life. I use JBL SRX725's and SRX728S' with Crown XTI's at home now, but would like your guys' expert opinion on a couple of shallow mount driver designs that I may be purchasing for my Corvette Stingray.

Kenwood:

Earthquake Sound:

Memphis Audio:

I don't even want to entertain the idea of the JL shallow because of it's steep price. Doesn't seem worth it.

Anyways, I thought I'd post here because many of you are versed in driver design and may be able to assist me in choosing one based on a design that is relatively flawless in comparison to another. From these 3 there really isn't too much price difference.

Enclosure is .75 cu ft. Can't seem to find TS specs on the Memphis though. Modeled the Earthquake, looks 'alright..' haha.

Thanks guys.

There are a ton of options out there now.

Here's a few more. I haven't used these particular drivers, but both of these companies' products are generally well respected around here.

There's also an 8" and 10" version.

Never heard them personally, but I have heard good things about the Dayton Shallow mount driver, and here is a review of the Kenwood 10" shallow mount sub I was reading earlier. Good luck!

That TB sub only has 4mm of xmax? thats less than half of what most the contenders are bringing to the table. Shallow mounts aren't known for major output, but at 4mm I'd be skeptical of that driver.
