The question is loaded..... but from a pure SQ standpoint a single sub is more desirable....

all other things being equal (which they never are)...2 subs of the same model will be louder than a single one of the same model.

Exaclty, what he said.
moreover depending on the subs, you will only gain a small # db's over a single sub.

I have been curious about this as I run stereo subs in my home setup and the improvement is substantial. I worry that a vehicle cabin will be too small to realize the same benefits. I will be experimenting with this in the near future as I have a setup that will allow a relatively quick switch.
