put the mic inside the kick facing floor tom. then there's less snare and hihat on the kick drum track. then simply just Drumagog it. that's IMO the fastest and easiest way in the world of metal... everyone uses samples.

You can sample your own kick drum or you can use those zillions of samples floating around the net.

But if you don't wanna use samples. I would then go for Audix D6 half way in the kick. And one thing you must consider is that kick drum "tunnel" made of matress and carpets. Less leakage that way.
