Default question for z06 system

Hey guys, i've been gathering equipment for a car that i don't even have yet, but it seems like i do this everytime before i buy the car instead of after, so oh well. I did the same thing for my last c6. I am going to buy a c6 z06 in the near future and here are the plans:

head unit: eclipse 6620 or alpine iva-203/P1 (which one?)
front stage: dynaudio system 360
amp for front stage: zapco 750.2 (already purchased)

here is the question; at first i was going to go with 1 jl 8w7 pushed by a zapco 500.1, but i have found a great deal on another 750.2 and am thinking about using it on 2 8w7 subs. Here are the choices i need help with:

1. buy 1 8w7 and push it with zapco 500.1
2. buy 2 8w7 and push them with a zapco 500.1 (is this possible?)
3. buy 2 8w7 and push them with a zapco 750.2 (feeds 2x350 at 2ohm)

Please give me your expertise and opinions on both the head unit decision and the sub/amp decision. Thanks

Also, how do you wire these 3 ohm subs with regular amps (not jl)

Can i run the 750.2 on 2 jl8w7 subs since they are 3ohm subs? If i run one sub to each channel will they run at 3 ohms on each channel and will this hurt a 2ohm stable amp such as the 750.2?

I vote Alpine for the HU.

about subs: I'd suggest getting at least 10" sub(s) unless you have a specific preference for 8's.

option 2 is possible in the low end and option 3 would put the subs at an ideal level. JLsudio suggests 300w as optimum.
