Which sub option?

I know there are a lot of JL haters out there, I am actually a big fan. It is all I have ever had. I know that I have enough room under my rear seat to install either a single 13TW5 or 2 ported 8W3V3 subs. The amp being the 500/1v2, which one is going to give me the best sound. I don't need to rattle pictures off my neighbors walls but I do want to feel it. Any help would be most appreciated. I can't get as crazy as I would like with the install because I have a 3 year old riding in the back.
Oh yeah and if it is needed, the truck is an 04 Screw. Thanks for the help.

I would definitely do the 13tw5 in a sealed enclosure. That will give you a much flatter response and will give you authority down low. The ported 8s will have a sizey spike in the response and will have no ***** in the lowest octaves.

Is the output going to be similar? I like the flat response though, so I think I'll probably go with the 13TW5. Thanks for the advice. Do you think the 500/1 will be enough to push it?
