if I was in your shoe's I would go with the single 10 and run power to it...It will weigh less and probably sound very similar to what the 2 10's would sound like...

When I did My system I wasnt really taking weight into consideration (I did 3 audiobahn 12's) but..If i were to ever re-do my system to a more practical system, I would probably do the 1 10 or 1 12...I prefer to run systems in odd numbers because its either a 'clean bass' or its 'make car alarms go off and have neighbors complaining' in my opinion there is no middle ground for me...

another fan of the single sub.
go with a better ten and you will be happier. if you want more bass, go with a single 12. anything more than that is just show (or competition if you are in to that)

the he2 is a dual voice coil right?

I would go with the single 10 rather than the Dual 10 set up. I am guessing at the specs on the speakers but from the general numbers you have provided I would go with a higher power single speaker system. Things like excursion or Xmax values as well as power handling go a long way toward a harder hitting system. Don't over look the fact that you should have a well designed box to go with the speakers. Power and Size are nothing without control, and thats where the box comes into play.

I just got my WRX and I haven't decided what to get yet. I was leaning toward a dual 8 setup for some really tight bass. My Integra GS-R currently has 3 JL Audio 10w6's running a total of 1000w. It is very tight and could be considered a groundpounder. I have heard other with nearly the same set up but they sounded like crap. It usually came down to a box that was the wrong size or design. Check the manufactures suggestions of box volumes as well as type. A sealed box lends itself to well controlled low frequency response vs. having something like a ported or bandpass design for a higher SPL (~volume/loudness) rating.

hopefully that was helpful, good luck and have fun with your new sound system.

peace.
