Better depends on your ears and the box.....obviously twice the cone area is louder....after that it's all dependant on the enclosure.....

I would go for the dual drivers.....but that's just me.....

hey thanks for all the help =) i think i will go with 2 alpine type s in a 2.0 cubic foot box with a slot port and displacement =) so each sub gets 1cubic foot of space.How is this?

Well, according to this link the recommended sizes are a little larger. The optimum box is usually a good starting point.....someone here with more experience with those woofers may have another idea for you.....
