I say it depends on how much space you have and what size speakers your thinking of using. Whats your budget?

Theres no substitute for displacement. 2 subs would be best but both options would be good with the right sub in a properly designed enclosure.

How much space are you willing to sacrifice?

2 12" type r's should be plenty loud in a pickup. Just need a good enclosure design.

2 type r's with 450 watts each in a proper box will be louder than a single type x at 900 watts in a proper box. Type R's are good sounding subs, tough, and relatively inexpensive, the type x is an excellent sounding sub by any standard, and still one of my favourites of all time.
