How about listing some goals, space limitations, budget etc., pointless to vote until more info is known.

or he could just get the 2 mediocre subs, and if he doesnt like it, add another 1 or 2

but the 2 right off the bat will probably be louder

If you're concerned about SPL, I'd default to more cone area unless you're trying to fit in a certain competition class.

If you're concerned about accurate sound, you might still want to go with two cheaper drivers - as the power handling of a "super" sub is probably not needed. But I wouldn't go with something mediocre.

I would get two xxx 12 prototypes from soundstream and call it good across the board.

if loud is your goal, i say multiples, i have a single hdc12 off a bxi2k and my buddy is running 2 older style type R 12's off a bxi1200 and his is honestly just as loud if not louder than mine, both standard cab pickups
