Re: 2 subs or 1 ???
It's all down to personal preference with regard to subs as well as the music you listen to. A large sub may give a nice wallop, but won't react as quickly as a smaller unit. I listen to thrash metal/heavy metal, so to get nice clean basslines, a decent 8" sub often does the job.
In previous times, I've gone nuts and fitted twin 12" jobbies(obviously not in the MR2!). Whereas the actual bass sounds great, it muddies the rest of the sound as the subs totally dominate...unless you turn them down, and thus negates the need for mega-power subs.

wise man, 2 subs in an MR2 is overkill IMO, my 10" Diamond M5 does the job perfectly

Pah, unless you can't focus due to the bass then it's not enough
