I am deciding between either 1 <>Eclipse SW9122 - Eclipse 12" Titanium Subwoofer or 2 Infinity KAPPA PERFECT12VQ - Infinity Kappa Perfect Series 12" VQ Series subwoofers. Which setup should I go with for sound quality with a little bump?

That's my opinion. Take it, leave it, or correct me.

It depends a lot on your amp, but if it was me I'd go for the Eclipse purchased from an authorized dealer, not from Woofers Etc so I'd be certain I was getting a factory new unit with a proper warranty and not a second or a refurb (and I'd use a high quality amp.)

Those two set-up's will sound *very* different.

Now if you actually mean that, a single woofer like the Eclipse would be your best choice... but you ought really figure out what you mean by a 'little' bump b/c there is a huge difference between single and dual woofer setups.

You ought listen to a single-woofer setup before investing. I've never been so unhappy as I was with my single $500 13w6.

I am more interested in sound quality. If it will have a little bump to go with it I wouldn't mind. SQ is more important though.

Eclipse is a really good woofer, just make sure you use a sealed Box..

Probably 1.25cu/ft. sealed for the Eclipse Ti.
