Default Help me decide on subs, Boston or Rockford Fosgate

I'm trying to decide on which setup to go with in my car, i basically want a sq system that can pound once in a while.

I have narrowed it down to these.

1 Boston G5 12"
2 Boston G2
or 2 Rockford Fostage p2124s

Which setup would sound better, 1 high end sub or 2 mid range subs ?

And would an alpine mrdm605 be enough to power the G5 it puts out 600 watts rms i believe

No experience with Boston but i personally don't like RF subs.

I'm building a new system now and went with RE (reaudio.com) SE 12" on a hifonics amp.

I would suggest a 10 XXX.

they are around 1500 rms. it will be all you need. I have a 15" XXX in the 89 hatch its the loudest **** on earth in a civic. Box and woofer weights in around 150 lbs.

its more sql. they are some badass speakers.

they are much better then the boston or rockford fosgate. also I would suggest a PA amp.
